Dear Members and Friends,
Did you know we have an active FL NOW book club?
We meet on the third Monday of every month at 6:30 pm over Zoom. Our book club is an incredible opportunity to learn about topics often overlooked in traditional education, focusing on racism, past and current injustices faced by people of color, and the true history of these communities. Recently, we read “The Color of Law” and “The Color of Money,” which starkly portray the systemic injustices from the end of slavery to today, detailing segregation and the barriers preventing African Americans from building wealth. Both were powerful and thought-provoking books.
This month, we are excited to read a novel called “James,” which tells the story of Huck Finn from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved character. In preparation, I decided to reread “Huck Finn,” and revisiting Mark Twain’s work has been wonderful.
We invite you to come and learn with us. Our group consists of strong, passionate feminists, and each book club discussion is led by a member.
We do have guidelines for our book selections, including a ~300-page limit, available in audio and at the library, under $20, close to a 4.5+ rating from both Amazon and Good Reads, and is on topic.
We’d love for you to join us! Click on the button below to join our book club!
Take Care,
Debbie Deland,
