This is not technically a Skylark event, but we are pleased to promote it here and encourage our customers to attend. On Saturday, June 3, Steve Harris will be appearing at Serendipity Salon and Gallery to discuss his book, Band Aid. Come and join in this important conversation. And of course we have lots of copies at the shop!

Band Aid is a compelling invitation to deepen your understanding of the effects of racism and racial biases on people of color. With one hundred personal stories, Steve Harris walks his readers through his lived experiences of dealing with issues of race, and he allows us a view into his own head - the cost-benefit analysis that so many people of color implement when deciding how to deal with racism. Walking in Harris’s shoes allows us to see how racism continues to play out in our society, and Harris gives us a framework to help us begin to undo the systems and processes in our society that continue to perpetuate the inequities of racism.
