Community Read Wed., May 20

Spring 2015 Community Read FlierJoin the college community in conversation about Coming of Age in Mississippi, an extraordinary personal memoir of a young black woman growing up in the segregated South and joining the struggle by blacks for voting rights.

This Wednesday’s meeting will cover chapters 23-26 and will take place in the PUB room 9202 from 12:30-1:30 p.m.

Marked for death by the Ku Klux Klan, Anne Moody survived to tell a story that resonates with today’s headlines about racial tensions and the targeting of African Americans by a white society.

**Free copies of Coming of Age in Mississippi are available only for students and classified staff who register to participate in the Community Read.
