May Book Club: The Black Kids by Christina Hammonds Reed
Come join us for a discussion of The Black Kids by Christina Hammonds Reed over at The Book Nook in Designworx. Bring a drink and a snack to chill with our group. Hope to see you there!
Our place and date have changed, but nothing else! Come cozy up in our new living room lounge for a great discussion!
Excerpt from the description: “…Everything changes one afternoon in April, when four LAPD officers are acquitted after beating a black man named Rodney King half to death. Suddenly, Ashley’s not just one of the girls. She’s one of the black kids…” I, Jerry, have looked for ways to explore what the summer of 2020 felt like. It was a hot time in the country, and for all the discussion we had as a nation, it seems as though that progress is trickling through our hands. I thought given the direction of the country this would be a timely read…an opportunity to see the world from a different perspective.
