Another is to have interesting and informative #BannedBookSkyClub discussions. Maybe even get people to read and enjoy a book they might not have otherwise.

As our president rails against civil rights legislation and diversity, and communities across the country are targeted by state-sanctioned violence, the words of Dr. King and other civil rights leaders continue to guide us. We are proud to fight alongside all those who are demanding their freedom.
