Paulette Lein has graciously volunteered to lead a book discussion on an amazing and well-reviewed book by Isabel Wilkerson entitled The Warmth of Other Suns. This non-fiction tome is about three young people from the deep south who moved north/west to begin life anew during The Great Migration which lasted from 1915 to 1970, involved six million people and was one of the largest internal migrations in U.S. history. It changed our country. Wilkerson spent 15 years researching and writing this book. This is a most interesting, in-depth coverage of that time span in our nation s history. Join us for a time of fellowship over lunch. Bring your own sandwich and the Adult Education Committee will supply dessert and beverages. We will be meet on October 15 at 11:30 a.m. in the Library. This is a very important book to share and enriching to the human spirit! As always, please bring your friends. Contact Seglinda Pritchard with any of your questions.
