The Accommodation – A Hybrid Event

Social Justice Task Force of Grace Presbytery presents a hybrid event based on the book, The Accommodation.

Rev. Virzola Law as panelist, with author Jim Schutze, and moderator Rev. Chris Lee.

This book is a powerful, long-repressed classic of Dallas history that examines the violent and suppressed history of race and racism in the city.

Written by longtime Dallas political journalist Jim Schutze, formerly of the Dallas Times
Herald and Dallas Observer, and currently columnist at D Magazine,

The Accommodation follows the story of Dallas from slavery through the Civil Rights
Movement, and the city’s desegregation efforts in the 1950s and ‘60s.

Known for being an uninhibited and honest account of the city’s institutional and structural
racism, Schutze’s book argues that Dallas’ desegregation period came at a great cost to Black
leaders in the city.

Now, after decades out of print and hand-circulated underground, Schutze’s book serves as a
reminder of what an American city will do to protect the white status quo.

Register for this event here. Start reading now and we’ll send a couple reminders to keep you going!

A livestream link will be sent closer to the date.
