May 2, 2026 — Sparked: George Floyd, Racism, and the Progressive Illusion from MNHS Press

Edited by Walter R. Jacobs, Wendy Thompson Taiwo, and Amy August, a collection examining the murder of George Floyd and the uprisings that followed, challenging Minnesota’s progressive image. The essays and reflections expose how inequalities persist despite claims of progress.

About Equity Chats
Equity Chats are open to all and will provide a reflective space for community members, staff, volunteers, and board members to listen to each other and learn about ourselves. It’s an opportunity to grow in awareness, challenge assumptions, and take intentional steps toward becoming more anti-racist, both individually and as a community.

What to Expect

A warm welcome from facilitators
- Round-robin check-in: How are you as a human?
- Each person shares their thoughts about the materials picked for that date.
- Open space for additional thoughts and questions
