February Book Club: The Warmth of Other Suns
Details
Join us as we delve into Isabel Wilkerson's masterful chronicle, The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration. This powerful narrative recounts the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life. Through the intimate lives of three unique individuals, Wilkerson blends historical research with journalistic narration to bring to life one of the most significant, yet often overlooked, transformations in American history.
We'll meet in the non-fiction room to discuss the profound impact of this migration on the cultural, political, and social fabric of America. The bookstore opens at 10 am, and our discussion will start at 10:10, giving everyone a chance to settle in comfortably.
Feel free to bring coffee and a snack to share! This discussion is not just an opportunity to reflect on a pivotal era in history, but also a chance to explore its continuing relevance in today's society. Whether you're new to our book club or a regular attendee, your insights and reflections will add great value to our conversation. Let’s uncover the stories of resilience and hope that changed the nation forever.
