She Said It Best

Michelle Barack in an interview with Chicago Tribune said:

"I heard that growing up, 'You talk like a white girl,'..."One of the things I hope happens through our involvement in this campaign is that this country and this world sees yet another image of what it means to be black."

April Book Selection

Black Boy

Author: Richard Wright


April's Book Review Meeting is scheduled for April 29th. The meeting will be hosted by Kimmy. Check back for our official review and discussion.


Editorial:
Black Boy is a classic of American autobiography, a subtly crafted narrative of Richard Wright's journey from innocence to experience in the Jim Crow South. An enduring story of one young man's coming off age during a particular time and place, Black Boy remains a seminal text in our history about what it means to be a man, black, and Southern in America.
