Millennial Book Club presents: A conversation on Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Join Oak Lawn Branch Library staff for a conversation on Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

About: In a series of essays, written as a letter to his son, Coates confronts the  notion of race in America and  how it has shaped American history, many times at the  cost of black bodies and  lives. Thoughtfully exploring personal and  historical events, from his time at Howard University to the  Civil War, the  author poignantly asks and  attempts to answer difficult questions that plague modern society. This stunning, National Book Award-winning memoir should be required reading for high school students and  adults alike.—Shelley Diaz, School Library Journal --Shelley Diaz (Reviewed 02/01/2016) (School Library Journal, vol 62, issue 2, p110)

 

This is an offsite program. We will be meeting at Union Coffee (3705 Cedar Springs Rd. Dallas, TX).
