We asked and you answered.

        A few months ago, we asked you to nominate a book touching on race relations that our community could read together.

        We were inspired by community-wide reading efforts in cities around the country such as Seattle, Chicago and Rochester. But we had an added goal: we wanted the project to bring people together for more than a discussion of plot and character, we wanted it to inspire conversations on the issues of race that are dividing our community.

        We received thousands of nominations covering 145 titles from the Bible and Toni Morrison's novel The Color Purple to Randall N. Robinson's The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks and the children's classic The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.

        To reach an even wider audience, we joined in a partnership with the public libraries of Hamilton, Kenton and Boone counties, WCET-TV, Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Cincinnati Magazine, Cincinnati Public Schools and the Cincinnati Mayor's Office on the project.

        On Thursday, we will launch On The Same Page with the announcement of the book selected and an interview with the author. We'll also tell you more about the book, how it was selected and how you can become involved.
