On today’s show, host Sara Gabler speaks with Professor Hahire Han about her new book Undivided: The Quest for Racial Solidarity in an American Church. The book, published by Knopf, profiles the Crossroads church in Cincinnati, Ohio, which launched a program in 2016 to foster cross-racial relationships and build racial justice organizing in their community. The program, Undivided, pushes church members to strive for racial solidarity in a moment of deep divisiveness in America. Han’s book offers a snapshot of the program through the lenses of four participants.
