ABHM Book Club: The Beautiful Struggle
October’s book selection is The Beautiful Struggle: A Memoir by Ta-Nehisi Coates, which we will discuss on October 26th at 6 PM CT via Zoom. The Beautiful Struggle is a brilliant coming of age story of one of this era’s most important public intellectuals. It traces the journey of a young man and his family navigating urban America during the Reagan Era, with an emerging hip-hop cultural aesthetic as the soundtrack.
The ABHM Book Club is free and open to all who are able to attend, although the books will need to be purchased by each participant. If you are having trouble finding a copy, please email admin@abhmuseum.org.
About ABHM Book Club:
America’s Black Holocaust Museum’s founder, Dr. James Cameron, was an avid reader and inspiring writer and educator. To this day, he is the only known survivor of a lynching to write and publish a memoir about such an experience. In his honor, we created this book club in November of 2020 to bring together a community of all backgrounds to learn about and discuss our collective past, modern manifestations of racism, and how we create racial repair, reconciliation, and healing for a better the future.
