Let's Talk About, "Angela Davis: An Autobiography" by Angela Davis!

Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library, 2401 Welton St, Denver, CO, US

Hey Book Club People!
Angela Davis' autobiography won the book club poll! Please show up to this book club meeting to discuss this wonderful icon, even if you haven't read the book by the time the meeting date comes. We will more than likely switch back to voting in person for the next book, so if you want to directly choose the next fiction book that we read, then you have to show up to this meeting. I hope to see y'all there!

Who: YOU!!

What: A 1974 political memoir covering Davis's early life, from her childhood in Birmingham, Alabama, during the Jim Crow era to her activism with the Communist Party and Black Panther Party, her time on the FBI's most wanted list, and her high-profile trial for a 1970 courthouse incident. Written in her late twenties, the book is described as a warm, brilliant, and humorous account of her life in the Black liberation movement and struggle against systemic racism and injustice.

When: November 8th, 12:00 pm MST

Where: The Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library, 2401 Welton St, Denver, CO 80205

Why: We meet to foster kinship and discuss important issues within the Black/Black diaspora community, world-wide! Let's join each other and discuss this book and ways to effect positive change in the systems that we must navigate.

----------------------
I look forward to discussing this book with y'all and hope that you can make it to our meeting! Feel free to attend even if you did not read the book or have partially read the book.
