Books
The purpose of the Justice Committee of the Kansas City Plaza Rotary Club is to advocate for justice within our community and the world so that our actions result in a positive impact on people, government and institutions, and our community. Our activities are open to Rotarians and all members of the community and serve to educate, inspire and facilitate our ongoing commitment to create a world that is free of injustice toward all people.
One of our proposed activities is a Book Club.
To begin, we have begun gathering titles of recommended books. We welcome your additions to this list.
