SUMMARY:Book Club: Take My Hand
DESCRIPTION:Join adult learners and other readers as we read and discuss the powerful book “Take My Hand” by Dolen Perkins-Valdez. The story explores the life of Civil Townsend\, a Black nurse in 1970’s Alabama\, who exposes a grave injustice suffered by her young patients. The Book Club is led by compassionate volunteers in a safe and supportive environment. You can join in person or online.  Contact Abbey at (269) 382-0490 ext. 219 if you’re interested! \nThis class is part of the community read-along\, being led by Kalamazoo Public Library\, in advance of the author’s visit to Kalamazoo on April 11.
