Virtual Reading Group for Literary Activism: with the Stowe Center

A riveting and essential new book, The Ground Breaking not only tells the long-suppressed story of the notorious Tulsa race massacre. It also unearths the lost history of how the massacre was covered up, and of the courageous individuals who fought to keep the story alive. Most important, it recounts the ongoing archaeological saga and the search for the unmarked graves of the victims of the massacre, and of the fight to win restitution for the survivors and their families.

Both a forgotten chronicle from the nation’s past and a story ripped from today’s headlines, The Ground Breaking is a page-turning reflection on how we, as Americans, must wrestle with the parts of our history that have been buried for far too long.

The Stowe Center is pleased to host a monthly book club to discuss works that embody the values of literary activism. Our book selections are from Stowe Prize shortlist and winners; works which engage with social justice, tell honest histories, and model how we can all be part of change for good. Please join us every second Wednesday of the month to discuss these important and timely books with guest hosts who will guide our conversation and offer diverse insight and perspectives.

Meetings will be held on the second Wednesdays of the month starting in September.
