LWV ABC Book Club - "How the Word is Passed"

Join the LWV ABC Zoom discussion of the book, "How the Word is Passed: A Reckoning With the History of Slavery Across America" (2021), by Clint Smith. Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Smith visits nine places that memorialize our legacy of slavery. Interweaving scholarship and personal observation with interviews of residents, tourists, scholars, tour guides, and museum officials, Smith examines how “the word” about our history with slavery is passed on to us. Our book club discussion is open to all LWV members and the general public; pre-registration is not required. More information may be found here.
