Stories from the Great Migration: a book discussion

Join members of Belmont Against Racism in an informal book discussion of The Warmth of Other Suns:The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson.   Copies of the book are available at the Circulation desk of the Belmont Public Library.  Wilkerson follows the journey of 3 southern blacks who are part of the wave of 6 million African-Americans from the South who migrate to the North between 1915 and 1970.   The history is made immensely readable in Wilkerson's book through the personal and poignant stories of these 3 individuals.

Light refreshments will be served.  RSVP appreciated but not required at belmontagainstracism@gmail.com
