The Ivy is delighted to welcome Hahrie Han for a hometown event celebrating her new book Undivided: The Quest for Racial Solidarity in an American Church, the story of a faith-based program designed to foster antiracism and systemic change. The book emerged out of the observation that in 2016, even as Ohio helped deliver victory to presidential candidate Donald Trump, Cincinnati voters also passed a ballot initiative for universal preschool. The margin was so large that many who elected Trump must have—paradoxically—also voted for the initiative: how could the same citizens support such philosophically disparate aims? What had convinced residents of this Midwestern, Rust Belt community to raise their own taxes to provide early childhood education focused on the poorest—and mostly Black—communities? Rev. David Ware, the Rector of Baltimore’s Church of the Redeemer, will join Han in conversation about the transformative possibilities for racial solidarity in a moment of deep divisiveness in America. |
