SUMMARY:Brothers & Books: Burn Down Master's House
DESCRIPTION:Brothers & Books is a member-led book and discussion group for men of color of all ages. This book club is the ideal forum to exchange thoughts and perspectives\, to deepen your sense of community\, and to diversify the selection of books on your shelf. Brothers & Books looks forward to building a strong community of men who can pour into each other\, centered around books and discussions that build and inspire. Food and beverages are welcome! \nAbout Burn Down Master’s House: Inspired by true\, long-buried stories of enslaved people who dared to fight back\, a searing portrayal of resistance for readers of Colson Whitehead\, Jesmyn Ward\, and Percival Everett\, from Clay Cane\, award-winning journalist and New York Timesbestselling author of The Grift. \nAs turmoil simmers within a divided nation\, smoke from another blaze begins to rise. Sparked by individual acts of resistance among those enslaved across the American South\, their seemingly disparate rebellions fuel a singular inferno of justice\, connecting them in ways quiet at times\, explosive at others. As these flames rise\, so will they. \nLuke\, quick-witted and literate\, and Henri\, a man with a strong and defiant spirit\, forge an unbreakable bond at a Virginia plantation called Magnolia Row. Both seek escape from unimaginable cruelty. And sure as the fires of hell\, Luke and Henri will leave their mark\, sparking resistance among the lives they touch… \nOne is Josephine\, a young\, sharp\, and observant girl who wields silence as her greatest weapon. A witness to Luke and Henri’s resilience\, she listens\, watches\, waits for the moment to make her move. \nThen there is Charity Butler\, her husband a formerly enslaved man who proved his ferocity as a young boy standing alongside Josephine. At his encouragement\, Charity fights for her freedom in court and wins – only to battle a deeply unjust system designed to destroy the life they’ve built. \nAnd finally\, there is Nathaniel\, who ruthlessly exploits other Black people and mirrors the cruelty of the white men who\, like him\, are enslavers. A perversion of the system of slavery\, his fragile and contradictory rule will become a catalyst of its own. \nInspired by the true stories of the profoundly courageous men and women who dared to fight back\, Burn Down Master’s House is a singular tour de force of a novel—breathtaking in scope\, compassion\, and a timeliness that speaks powerfully to our present era.

SUMMARY:Kindred Book Club: Fire Exit
DESCRIPTION:Kindred Book Club reads Fire Exit by Morgan Talty – Gail’s Pick! \nJoin the members of the Kindred Book Club on Saturday\, July 25th at 5pm as we discuss Morgan Talty’s novel\, Fire Exit. \nThe Kindred Book Club is a member led book club where the members come together to select the book for the bi-monthly discussions. Growing with each meeting\, we are a lively diverse bunch with a common love for books and book discussions. Join us at 5pm to delve into the details of the book! \nAbout the Book: From the award-winning author of Night of the Living Rez\, comes a masterful and unforgettable story of family\, legacy\, bloodlines\, culture and inheritance\, and what\, if anything\, we owe one another. \nFrom the porch of his home\, Charles Lamosway has watched the life he might have had unfold across the river on Maine’s Penobscot Reservation. He caught brief moments of his neighbor Elizabeth’s life―from the day she came home from the hospital to her early twenties. But there’s something deeper and more dangerous than the river that divides him from her and the rest of the tribal community. It’s the secret that Elizabeth is his daughter\, a secret Charles is no longer willing to keep. \nNow\, it’s been weeks since he’s seen Elizabeth\, and Charles is worried. As he attempts to hold on to and care for what he can―his home and property; his alcoholic and bighearted friend Bobby; and his mother\, Louise\, who is slipping deeper into dementia―he becomes increasingly haunted by his past. Forced to confront a lost childhood on the reservation\, a love affair cut short\, and the death of his beloved stepfather\, Fredrick\, Charles contends with questions he’s long been afraid to ask. Is his secret about Elizabeth his to share? And would his daughter want to know the truth\, even if it could cost her everything she’s ever known?

SUMMARY:Collaging with Ayanna Legros
DESCRIPTION:Join Harlem based artist Ayanna Legros for a collage workshop exploring the legacy of Marsha P. Johnson! She will guide us in creating our own paper collages and explain the significance of the medium. Materials and food provided. \nAyanna showed work in our most recent exhibition\, Turning Tides: Little Liberia & the Black Atlantic. Program in collaboration with OurTransLife. RSVP Required. \nAbout the artist: Ayanna Legros (b. 1991) is a mixed-media artist\, writer\, and radio archivist. Her work is rooted in her Haitian lineage\, and US Black upbringing in West Harlem. These roots and routes inform her paintings\, collages\, photographs\, and glass assemblages. Her historical and archival training guides her interrogation of Western Civilization’s belief that Black peoples are incapable of maintaining civility\, producing history\, and embodying modernity. Her work is a multi-layered exercise in preserving historical memory\, as she immortalizes figures who sit on the margins despite their vast contributions to humanity.
