Book Club

FL NOW Book Club Introduction

The FL NOW Book Club meets once a month on the third Monday of the month at 6:30 P.M.

The FL NOW Book Club focuses on learning about Racial Justice. We read about the histories of people of color, e.g., African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, etc. We read about past injustices and current injustices. We read the real history America’s two original sins, slavery and its impact up to today and the same for Native Americans, and others. We live in a segregated America and need to learn how to reduce the segregation, cultural racism, current injustices, and systemic racism. Please join us. It is a group of strong women learning from reading.

We are a learning book club. We would love to have you join the book club. Contact Debbie Deland at president@flnow.org for Zoom information.
