SUMMARY:Book Club: African American Legacy
DESCRIPTION:<p>Focused on books that discuss our history in a journey towards the discovery of our ancestors. &nbsp;</p><p>The group will meet on Zoom on alternating months on the second Tuesday of the month.&nbsp;</p><p>This month's book: <a href="https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C1223669"><i>Oreo</i></a> by Fran Ross&nbsp;</p><p>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. &nbsp;</p><p>This program is in partnership with the<a href="http://www.sfaahcs.org/"> San Francisco African American Historical and Cultural Society</a>.</p>
