In Undivided, Hahrie Han chronicles the story of four participants—two men, one Black and one white, and two women, one Black and one white—whose lives were fundamentally altered by a faith-based program designed to foster antiracism and systemic change in a Cincinnati evangelical church. As each of their journeys unfolded, in unpredictable and sometimes painful ways, they came to better understand one another, and to believe in the transformative possibilities for racial solidarity in a moment of deep divisiveness in America. The lessons they learned have the power to teach us all what an undivided society might look like—and how we can help achieve it.  
 
The program will include the author in conversation with Undivided leader Chuck Mingo and participant Jess McKnight. Moderator Matt Ewalt joined The Texas Tribune as senior director of events and live journalism in March 2023. He previously worked at Chautauqua Institution in Western New York in various roles, including vice president and Emily and Richard Smucker Chair for Education and editor of The Chautauquan Daily.
