Chokehold Virtual Book Discussion

Join ACS for our inaugural Book Club discussion hosted by the ACS Board of Academic Advisors. We are excited to announce Paul Butler's Chokehold as our first read. In his book, Butler explains how our "laws and practices [] treat every African American man like a thug" and "powerfully demonstrates why current efforts to reform law enforcement will not create lasting change." Members of the ACS Board of Academic Advisors will lead smaller breakout groups to facilitate discussion of the book. Be sure to look out for a discount code to purchase Chokehold in the confirmation email you will receive after registering!
