Third Thursday Book Discussion: The Message

Meeting Rooms A and B Combined
Thursday, Apr 17, 2025, 2:00pm to 3:00pm

Join us for a discussion of this month's book, The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates. New members are always welcome! Copies of the book may be available at the Ask Desk.

Synopsis: In a series of three intertwining essays, Coates journeys to three resonant sites of conflict to explore how the stories we tell—and the ones we don’t—shape our realities: West Africa, the American South, and finally Palestine. Written at a dramatic moment in American and global life, this work from one of the country’s most important writers is about the urgent need to untangle ourselves from the destructive myths that shape our world—and our own souls—and embrace the liberating power of even the most difficult truths.
