June, July & August offerings to deepen our understanding of the American story and align with the Civil Rights pilgrimage, November 2026. All are welcome!
#1. The Warmth of Other Suns, The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson (2010). . Wednesday, June 24 , 6:30 – 8 pm, Zoom
Join us for a discussion of this groundbreaking book based on historical research and more than a thousand interviews. The story of the Great Migration is told through the lens of the lives of three remarkable protagonists: Ida May Gladney, a sharecropper’s wife moving from Mississippi to Chicago in the 1930’s; George Starling, a student and citrus groves worker fleeing from Florida to New York in the 1940’s; and, Robert Foster, a medical surgeon and war veteran leaving Louisiana with hopes of a better life in California in the 1950’s.
We welcome all interested to discuss the social, political, and spiritual journey of the people in the book and the collective cross-country journey of over six million Southern Blacks to the North and West and how this indelibly shaped America.
