The Good Work Institute is thrilled to welcome Heather McGhee to Kingston for a talk that springboards off of her book, The Sum of Us. Join us at Rough Draft, where we will gather to hear her reflections on how we can dismantle racist systems and create a vision for our country’s future. Copies of her book will be available for sale at the event or can be purchased ahead of time through Rough Draft’s site. The talk will be followed by a Q&A.

This free, public event is sponsored by GWI, and supported by Rough Draft and Radio Kingston.
