Human Library “books” are people who have agreed to make themselves available for discussion about stigmatized experiences. The Human Library project puts a face on the headlines, allowing participants to begin to understand the experience of those who’ve been identified as “other.” All human “books” go through training to ensure a safe space is maintained. The program allows people who may otherwise never talk to one another to engage
in conversation.
The day will begin with a talk by Shaun Smith the Founder, President, and CEO of BlackPush . Following his discussion, attendees will
sign up for 30-minute conversations with Human Library books.
