Focused on books that discuss research into African American family history and that illuminate the journey towards the discovery of our ancestors.   

The group will meet on Zoom on alternating months. 

This month's book: Salvation: Black People and Love by bell hooks. Find unlimited Ebook copies here through Hoopla. 

Written from both historical and cultural perspectives, Salvation takes an incisive look at the transformative power of love in the lives of African Americans. Whether talking about the legacy of slavery, relationships and marriage in Black life, the prose and poetry of Martin Luther King, Jr., James Baldwin, and Maya Angelou, the liberation movements of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, or hip hop and gangsta rap culture, hooks lets us know what love's got to do with it.
