Banned Book Week discussion of “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison
Zoom - RSVP |
Join University Libraries for a special Banned Book Week book club. We will discuss Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, one of the most challenged classic books. Invisible Man is the story of an unnamed narrator whose bright future is erased by racism, told in confession form, frankly using the language of the period in which it was written.
Book Club will begin with a short presentation of banned books followed by a discussion of the book.
Free and open to all, registration required for Zoom link.
The Green Book was an annual guidebook for African American travelers published from 1936-1966. The book listed services and places open to African American visitors during a time of legalized racial discrimination. Join Noir Bookshop and Great Rivers Greenway for this two-part program to learn about local places featured in the Green Book and walk in their footprints today.
