Thanks to Mary Ann for hosting a wonderful gathering with delicious food and a meaningful discussion.

Mary Ann will be taking a break from book club until October, while she prepares for Charlie’s launch. We will miss you, but it’s only 9 books away!

I recommended these related resources during our discussion about Homegoing. The first is a podcast from Literary Arts. It’s worth subscribing to the Archive Project for the Arts and Lectures events you may have missed. This episode is an interesting discussion between Colson Whitehead and Yaa Gyasi. The link should get you there.

The other recommendation is the Netflix documentary “13th”.  13th is a 2016 American documentary by director Ava DuVernay. The film explores the “intersection of race, justice and mass incarceration in the United States;” it is titled after the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which freed the slaves and prohibited slavery (unless as punishment for a crime).
