Book Club Gathering: April 9, 2012

The Rhetoric Race and Religion book club will convene on April 9, 2012 at 6:00pm at the Caritas Village located at 2509 Harvard in Memphis, Tennessee. For those not able to make it in person, we will conduct a live tweet chat starting at 7:15pm (CST) using #R3bookclub #thenewjimcrow. Lani Guinier, professor of Law at Harvard Law School says that “Michelle Alexander’s brave and bold new book paints a haunting picture in which dreary felon garb, post-prison joblessness, and loss of voting rights now do the stigmatizing work once done by colored-only water fountains and legally segregated schools. With dazzling candor, Alexander argues that we all pay the cost of the new Jim Crow.”
The book club is free and open to the public. To join or get more information, please call 901-327-5246 or contact us on our Facebook page or Twitter
