A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota was published back in 2016, but it's enjoyed a renaissance of sorts this summer.

The collection of essays features 16 diverse voices of people of color, talking about the Minnesota in which they live.

More information and upcoming conversations about the book can be found at the book's Facebook page here and editor Sun Yung Shin has created a website called What Can I Do About Racism?
