The Black Historical Fiction Decades Reading Challenge Open Discussion Group

Join the Morningside Heights Library for our Black Historical Fiction Decades Reading Challenge Open Discussion group. This group is a reading challenge and a book club series that encourages learning about and exploring different decades of Black history throughout the twentieth century. The group meets ten times throughout the year, each meeting focusing on a specific decade. After a participant registers for the event, they receive a book list of historical fiction novels that focus on Black history for that particular decade. The participant will read any book on that list, or find their own, and bring a copy of that book ready to discuss the experience as a group. This is a safe space for those who are learning for the first time about Black perspectives, as well as a safe space for Black stories to be told and Black history to be learned. We hope that participants walk away from each meeting having learned something new.

Time: 1:30-3:00 pm EST
