Book Discussion
Thursdays, July 8th and 29th at 6:30 pm on Zoom.
For two evenings in July, the Phoenix Fusion Racial Justice Team will host, and Pastor Kristin Rice will facilitate discussion on the book, “The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration” written by Isabel Wilkerson.
In this beautifully written New York Times bestseller, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves.
Please read parts one through three before the first discussion night. Click here to join.
