About the Read

What is the Community Read?

We are a group of Flint residents who seek to engage the community in dialogue and strengthen the Flint community by promoting inclusion and understanding about differing points of view. We select a book each summer and hold monthly discussions from Fall - Spring around the Flint area.

The Community Read is a grassroots, social capital building, City of Flint/Genesee County community-wide reading project. Beginning in the Fall of 2016 a small group of residents determined that they would create a safe environment for residents to express their perspectives on a range of injustice topics through group reading and discussion.

All are welcome to join!
