MCLS Third Thursday Twitter Chat

Libraries Read: 1 Book Discussion

 

Join us Thursday, July 19, at 2pm Eastern (1pm Central) for our Third Thursday Twitter Chat. We will be discussing the winning title from this year’s Libraries Read: 1 Book votes, When They Call You a Terrorist by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele. According to GoodReads, this book is, "a poetic and powerful memoir about what it means to be a Black woman in America—and the co-founding of a movement that demands justice for all in the land of the free… When They Call You a Terrorist is Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele’s reflection on humanity. It is an empowering account of survival, strength and resilience and a call to action to change the culture that declares innocent Black life expendable." Those who submitted the title for consideration felt it would be a fantastic point to bring this conversation into the libraries, and to help us better understand the communities that we serve.
