The Senior Caucus hosts a book group monthly on the third Monday at 11:00a, using Zoom technology. Everyone is invited to join the discussion.
The next meeting is August 17, when we will discuss Saying It Loud: 1966—the Year Black Power Challenged the Civil Rights Movement by Mark Whitaker.
How the Black Power phenomenon began to challenge the traditional civil rights movement in the turbulent year of 1966. Deeply researched and widely reported, Saying It Loud offers brilliant portraits of the major characters in the yearlong drama and provides new details and insights from key players and journalists who covered the story. It also makes a compelling case for why the lessons from 1966 still resonate in the era of Black Lives Matter and the fierce contemporary battles over voting rights, identity politics, and the teaching of Black history.
