About the Community Read:

Rising Out of Hatred by Eli Saslow tells the intensely personal saga of one man who eventually disavowed everything he believed, at tremendous personal cost, and how white-nationalist ideas migrated from the fringes of American culture to its forefront. With great empathy and narrative verve, Eli Saslow asks what Derek Black's story can tell us about America's increasingly divided nature. Copies of the book will be available for checkout from Mesa County Libraries and for purchase through local bookstores.

This month-long Community Read is scheduled to begin Monday, May 3, and will include a community discussion about the book and several other events centered around the book’s themes.

Fruita for Equality is an initiative to promote and support equality, inclusivity, and diversity through meaningful conversations and action in the community. Collaborators in Fruita for Equality include Mesa County Libraries, Fruita Rotary, the city of Fruita, and Lithic Bookstore and Gallery.
