Virtual Let's Talk About Race Discussion on Thu. Feb. 18 at 7pm. This month, we discuss 1919 by Eve L. Ewing. The Chicago Race Riot of 1919, which lasted eight days and resulted in 38 deaths and almost 500 injuries, changed the Chicagoland area, but it isn't talked about. Through poems recounting the stories of everyday people trying to survive and thrive in the city, Ewing illuminates the thin line between the past and the present. Copies of the book are available at the Circulation Desk one month before the meeting date.
