We’re excited to promote Augusta University & Augusta Technical College online event, An Evening with Michele Harper: "Racism: Our Most Crucial Public Health Crisis"! Dr. Michele Harper’s The New York Times bestselling memoir, The Beauty in Breaking, is a poignant true story of Harper’s journey toward self-healing. Each of the patients Harper writes about taught her something important about recuperation and recovery. How to let go of fear even when the future is murky. H...ow to tell the truth when it’s simpler to overlook it. How to understand that compassion isn’t the same as justice. As she shines a light on the systemic disenfranchisement of the patients she treats as they struggle to maintain their health and dignity, Harper comes to understand the importance of allowing ourselves to make peace with the past as we draw support from the present. In this hopeful, moving, and beautiful book, she passes along the precious, necessary lessons that she has learned as a daughter, a woman, and a physician. Available on our website and in-store, reach out to us & snag your copy for this amazing event because, as book-lovers ourselves, we know how exciting it is to read a thinker’s work before experiencing the speech. This event is brought to you by the English and World Languages at Augusta University , AU Office of Diversity and Inclusion, AU Multicultural Student Engagement Office, Augusta University, Institute of Public and Preventive Health , Augusta University College of Nursing , Women's and Gender Studies Program at Augusta University and Augusta Technical College. This event is presented in celebration of Augusta University’s Values Week and Courageous Conversations and is also supported in part by the Predominantly Black Institutions Formula Grant Program.

Join us next Saturday for a reading & Author Signing with Kristie Robin Johnson! In High Cotton, local author Kristie Robin Johnson "explores the social and economic consequences of her lineage, drawing on her experience as a postcivil rights era, postwomen’s liberation, pre-millennial black woman to illuminate the lived reality of a daughter of the Deep South, in the process conjuring universal truths every reader will recognize."
