What we’re about
Welcome fellow Readers! This is an African-American book club in Denver for Black people to discuss issues of race in America regarding African-Americans, Black Americans, and the Black diaspora worldwide. This is an inclusive and progressive group and all Black people are welcome to join. The main purpose of the group is to foster community in Denver amongst the Black diaspora. This group reads and discusses books by Black authors and based on the comfort level of members in the group, we choose whether to conduct meetings virtually or in person, possibly at a Denver library, coffee shop, or other decided upon venue.
