What we’re about
We meet the last Thursday of every month for book club, with occasional "field trips" to community performances, museum exhibits, ethnic restaurants or other local events. We read books across genres that explore issues of race, culture, gender, disability and other forms of "othering" in America as a means of educating, understanding, and seeking justice within Milwaukee and the larger community. If you're interested in experiencing other perspectives, exploring and challenging your own and society's views, and engaging in respectful dialogue we invite you to join the conversation!

See all- "DISABILITY IN FICTION" THEME NIGHT! Choose your own readHill Valley Dairy, Milwaukee, WI
Let's end the year with a "choose your own" book around the theme of disability in fiction. Pick your own fiction read and then plan to share a brief summary and review for the rest of the group, so we can all get some exposure to a wider selection than if we were all to read the same thing...looking forward to seeing what everyone chooses!
Pulling the start time up to 6pm and trying out the newly-opened Hill Valley Dairy location in Walker's Point for this month, so come hungry for cheese, maybe some wine or a cocktail and good conversation. Parking in the area is largely on-street but there is a small pay lot on the corner of 2nd and Bruce as well. Hope to see you there!
