Community Study Club
Our engagement and educational efforts support both gardening practices and positive health outcomes. By distributing books, recipes, and other food literacy educational materials, we share resources on how food interacts with health and can diminish chronic conditions.
Topic
Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice
Meets virtually Mondays at 7-8pm
The current session of Everbloom’s Community Study Club discusses Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice. In this work, Jessica Gordon Nembhard chronicles African American cooperative business ownership and its place in the movements for Black civil rights and economic equality.
Not since W. E. B. Du Bois’s 1907 Economic Co-operation Among Negro Americans has there been a full-length, nationwide study of African American cooperatives. Collective Courage extends that story into the twenty-first century.
The Community Study Club meets virtually each Monday from 7-8pm. We expect to read about two chapters weekly until we complete the book.
