Focused on books that discuss our history in a journey towards the discovery of our ancestors.
The group will meet on Zoom on alternating months on the second Tuesday of the month.
This month's book: Oreo by Fran Ross
Oreo is raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia. Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note that triggers her quest to find him. What ensues is a playful, modernized parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb.
This program is in partnership with the San Francisco African American Historical and Cultural Society.
