Woke & Well-Read Book Club: I Am Not Your Negro

Woke & Well-Read is a new book club starting this fall, facilitated by Jamila Latham. The group meets the 3rd Wednesday of each month, from 7 – 8:30 pm.

Our September selection is I Am Not Your Negro by James Baldwin. We'll show the documentary and then discuss Baldwin's life and legacy.

Woke & Well-Read will look at life through the eyes of African American authors. We will explore some of the legendary greats (that some of us are ashamed we have not read yet), as well as contemporary favorites and writers who are up-and-coming.

Read more about the club or email Jamila with questions.
