Caste Winter Book Club Guest Graphics (3).png

Join us for the final session of our winter virtual conversation series and book club, co-hosted by Chicago House trustees Nabeela Rasheed and Kelly Saulsberry and guided by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. We will be joined by Illinois Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton and IL State Senator Mike Simmons for a conversation exploring race, caste systems, and the repercussions of a society organized by artificial distinctions of what makes someone 'less than.'

This discussion series is part of the City of Chicago’s Together We Heal initiative.

Participation by all is encouraged! Join the conversation whether or not you’re reading along with us.
