September Book Club meeting: The Help

The new SCTC book club is kicking off its first semester with the book that inspired a movie with the same title - The Help by Kathryn Stockett.

The book follows three women from Jackson, Mississippi in 1962 as they join forces on a dangerous project to expose the hypocrisy, racism and abuse they endure in their town.  Set against the larger backdrop of the civil rights movement, the book narrows its focus to domestic spaces and how racism impacted  the lives of working African American women in the sixties.  You can find reviews and a more in-depth summary of the book here on Goodreads.

Interested in reading and discussing this book?  Come to the book club meeting for discussion, new officer elections and free coffee!
Where:  The SCTC Library
When:  Thursday, September 22 at 5.00 PM
