What up Conscious Ones,
The greatest non fiction writer of the 21st century is back with another offering so of course we have to reconvene for another book club session. That’s right, Ta-Nehisi Coates just released The Message which is an unrelenting analysis of what historical injustice looks like in three locations; South Carolina, Senegal, and Palestine. Please order the book, read it in its entirety, take notes, then step into the zoom room on Friday, December 27th at 9:00pm EST.I hope to see you all then.
Much love and respect,
Roger Porter
