I have loved reading all my life but you know what I love even more than reading? Reading in community.

I am so excited to host the first session of my very own bookish community called READ ALONG for… 

In each READ ALONG for… Community we will

• Join together and read a book on a timely topic. 

• Gather in a private Facebook group throughout the session for non-spoilery discussions 

• Meet on Zoom for a book club get together

• Donate optionally at registration toward an organization working for justice 

READ ALONG for Racial Justice (July 11 - July 25)

In July, we will READ ALONG FOR…

RACIAL JUSTICE

STORY:
Recitatif by Toni Morrison

Recitatif is Toni Morrison’s only published short story. It can be found for free at this link and is also available in book form with an amazing introduction by Zadie Smith. 

If you are interested in borrowing or buying the book, I highly recommend listening to the introduction and story on audio. Zadie Smith reads her introduction and Bahni Turpin (my favorite narrator) narrates the short story. My favorite ways to listen to audiobooks are through the Libby app at my library or through Libro.fm which supports my favorite independent book store. 

ORGANIZATION:
Southern Poverty Law Center
