MCF Book Club: Reading for a Liberated Future

NationSwell is thrilled to partner with the Marguerite Casey Foundation to present the MCF Book Club series in New York City. Together, we will convene our communities to dive into thought-provoking books from dynamic authors from historically marginalized populations whose work centers radical, regenerative, and transformative approaches to community building.

Previous Event: King: A Life

A Book Club event in honor of King: A Life, a revelatory portrait of Dr. King blending newly declassified FBI files with vivid storytelling to reveal the complexities of King’s life and work. Moderated by Dr. Carmen Rojas, MCF president and CEO, the virtual premiere of this event features Pulitzer-winning biographer Jonathan Eig and Dr. Darrick Hamilton, professor of economics and urban policy at the New School.

Previous Event: #SAYHERNAME

Be moved by a conversation between Professor Crenshaw, Dr. Carmen Rojas, President & CEO of Marguerite Casey Foundation, and Ms. Rhanda Dormeus and Valarie Carey of the #SAYHERNAME Mothers Network. Learn how we can incorporate an intersectional approach in our own work for justice — and how we can best lend our own voices in service of naming and ameliorating the violence that harms Black women and girls.

Previous Event: Invisible No More

The essays in Invisible No More feature stories from diverse Native nations. Hear from a few of the essayists who contributed their words and stories to the collection, as well as Dr. Carmen Rojas, President + CEO of Marguerite Casey Foundation, on how the lessons we learn from stories of Native community-building can help us redress historic inequities, create just societies, and cultivate a better world.
