Virtual Book Club Announced
The Franklin County NAACP is hosting a virtual Book Club to commemorate MLK and Black History Month. The zoom meeting will be held Tuesday evenings 6:30-7:30 p.m. Jan.25, Feb. 1, 15 and 22. (Note: No meeting on Feb 8.)
The selected book for reading and discussion is “So You Want to Talk about Race” by Ijeoma Oluo, and can be purchased at the Sewanee Bookstore or on Amazon.
Oluo is a noted and influential African American writer and speaker. This New York Times bestseller offers a hard-hitting, user-friendly examination of race and racism in America and is an excellent starting point to promote cross-cultural dialogue.
We hope you will join us for this exciting opportunity. If possible, please read the Introduction and Chapter 1-4 for the first meeting. Please contact <chriscolane@gmail.com> for the Zoom link to be provided.
