Arroyo Book Club February Pick…

Book Jacket for: The warmth of other suns : the epic story of America's great migration

The Arroyo Book Club will be reading The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson for our February meeting.  In this book Wilkerson examines the great migration of African-Americans from the South by presenting the experience of 3 different individuals.  The book uses the following description:
In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America.
Pick up a copy of the book and make plans to join us for discussion on February 22 at 3:00.
