“To love well is the task in all meaningful relationships, not just romantic bonds.”

– bell hooks  

Beloved author, poet, professor, feminist, cultural critic, and social activist, bell hooks, was one of the country’s most important public intellectuals. In celebration of Women’s History Month and woman-owned small, local businesses, the Kansas City Museum and BLK+BRWN Bookstore are hosting a community discussion centered around one of hooks’ seminal works – All About Love.

All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Attendees are encouraged to purchase copies of All About Love thru BLK+BRWN Bookstore BLK + BRWN.

Self-proclaimed local book pusher and owner of BLK+BRWN Bookstore, Cori Smith, will lead the discussion concerning bell hooks’ life and legacy and why All About Love should be on everyone’s bookshelf.

Please check in at the admissions desk in the R.A. Long Foundation Grand Hall at 5:45 p.m.
