The Martin Luther King Jr. Day Read & Reflect Committee invites you to join this year’s Read & Reflect event—a discussion of the book Nobody: Casualties of America’s War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond by Marc Lamont Hill on Monday, Jan. 16 from 10 a.m. to noon.
According to The New York Times, “[Nobody] examines the interlocking mechanisms that systematically disadvantage ‘those marked as poor, black, brown, immigrant, queer, or trans’—those, in Hill’s words, who are Nobodies. … A worthy and necessary addition to the contemporary canon of civil rights literature.”
In the wake of our presidential election, we hope this book will provide some insight into the experience of marginalized populations. This will be an action-based discussion and will not only focus on the book but also personal experiences feeling like a “nobody” and action steps we can take individually and as a campus to dismantle systematic structures that don’t support the most vulnerable.
