We will be discussing an article by Washington Post columnist Christine Emba — “Men Are Lost: Here’s a Map Out of the Wilderness.”
Christine Emba expresses concern for young men and boys who seem increasingly influenced by the extreme right wing “manosphere” and wonders about how we define “good masculinity” in a world of changing gender roles. Join us.

We will cover “The Colfax Massacre: The Beginning of the End of Reconstruction.”
We will view and discuss video from a recent meeting of Together Louisiana’s Rapid Response where this group is reading Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil War by Nicholas Lemann.
The prologue of the book tells the story of the Colfax Massacre (erroneously called the Colfax Riot in the white Southern retelling of the story) depicted in the monuments that were erected in the area.
The video features Rev. Avery Hamilton who grew up in Colfax but knew nothing of the true story of the massacre until well into adulthood when he learned the story of his own ancestor who was one of the first to die in the massacre.
We will hear the story of how Rev. Hamilton not only learned his own family’s story but met a descendant of the perpetrators of the massacre who has worked with him to get the true story out and to build a more appropriate monument to those who died.

As we gather input and prepare for our next multi-session unit, we are taking a few Sundays for some 1-session and 2-session topics that have interested some of our members.
This Sunday, we will view and discuss a video interview with author Matthew Desmond whose research and personal experience of poverty has sought to untangle the reasons why so many Americans are struggling.
