Cowboy Code
by Ellie Bryant
Author Talk
Thursday August 22nd
7 pm
Crazy about cowboy movies, fourteen-year-old Bobbie Grey uses Gene Autry’s code of honor as her moral guide. … Bobbie learns that love transcends race and gender and that it sometimes requires the ultimate sacrifice—letting go.
Join Us for a Talk with local Author Ellie Bryant about her latest release.
Book Group for August
March
by John Lewis
and
They Had a Dream,
by Jules Archer
Monday, August 26th
7PM
We will meet to discuss both books.
They Had a Dream Traces the progression of the civil rights movement and its effect on history through biographical sketches of four prominent and influential African Americans: Frederick Douglass, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X.
March is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis' lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Rooted in Lewis' personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement.
