About the event

This July, we invite members and friends of South Church to read My Grandmother’s Hands by Resmaa Manakem. The book offers us a substantially different view of racism and invites us to think of it, not as a cognitive process so much as it is a lived experience in our very bodies – a soul wound. Keith Ellison, a member of Congress, writes this: “Dr. W. E. B. Dubois put his finger on African American consciousness when he wrote one ever feels his twoness: an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body. But even DuBois never addressed the process of healing the psychological wounds of the twoness. In My Grandmother's Hands, Resmaa offers a path of internal reconciliation for the person enduring the generational trauma of American racism and gives us all a chance to dream of healing from it.

For those who wish to discuss the book together, Rev. Jed will facilitate a conversation at church right after worship on Sunday, September 24. Please RSVP to Rev. Jed, so that enough refreshments can be bought.
