I was compelled to look that performance up. The introduction of Yoyo Ma by the speaker is very poignant given where we are as a nation now. May we return to a country whose government values the contributions of immigrants again.

So the first two chapters are about why Baldwin is important and who Baldwin is. And then the next five chapters are thematic, culture, faith, race, justice, identity.

This was probably the best discussion book we have had in years. I still wish the group had a background first.
