Meeting Room Both (Max Capacity 100)

We'll discuss The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America'a Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson. Books are available at the Adult & Teen Services Desk one month before each discussion.

In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson 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.
