Genealogy Page Turners Book Club: Slavery's Descendants
The Kentucky Historical Society has a new book club designed to help you keep your 2022 reading resolutions on-task! Over the course of 10 months (February - November), we will be meeting virtually to discuss Slavery's Descendants: Shared Legacies of Race & Reconciliation by Dionne Ford & Jill Strauss. The meetings for this title will take place via Zoom every 4th Saturday from 2-4pm EST. We may not fill the full 2 hours every month, but the sessions are FREE and designed to help us reflect on what we read, and how it relates to our research.
Pre-registration is required - but only once! Anyone who signs up will be sent the Zoom invitations monthly - so no need to re-register each month. You are responsible for acquiring a copy of the book we will be using for the sessions - electronic or print - your choice. For those in the area, some copies will be available in KHS' 1792 Store at the beginning of 2022. **NOTE** In order to provide a safe space for open dialogue, these sessions will NOT be recorded.
