Join your fellow SD37 DFLers for our next Book Club meeting!
This quarter, we are diving into the critically acclaimed and deeply impactful non-fiction masterpiece, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot, that exposes the deep-seated racial disparities and ethical failures within the American healthcare system.
The book details how Henrietta Lacks's cells were commercialized into a billion-dollar medical industry without her consent, leaving her descendants locked out of the very healthcare she helped advance. It is a timely, essential read for anyone passionate about civil rights, medical equity, and corporate accountability.
When: Wednesday, September 30th | 6:00 PM
Where: Maple Grove Library, Main Street Meeting Room
Note: This event is open to everyone - bring a neighbor!
Grab a copy from a local shop (maybe Avant Garden, Cream & Amber, or Buffalo Books) and join your neighbors for an evening of great conversation.
Come for the discussion, stay for the community. We'll see you there!
