Michele Norris, NPR personality and author of the best-selling memoir, Grace of Silence, is an award-winning journalist and former co-host of NPR’s All Things Considered and developed The Race Card Project and Backseat Book Club. Grace of Silence is one of several options being offered to students and community members as part of the “One book, One Community” program, which encourages all members of the community to discuss issues of importance to us all. This year the focus is on issues of racial equality, reflecting on where we have come as a nation, and where we still have to go.
