This is a 2nd meeting of the Nonfiction Book Group for Adults  to read the first selection. Generally, the Book Club meets on the 4th Monday of each month from 7:00 - 8:00 PM. 

The theme for September 2023-April 2024 is the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was signed on July 2, 1964, by President Johnson. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The law’s eleven sections prohibited discrimination in the workplace, public accommodations, public facilities, and agencies receiving federal funds, and strengthened prohibitions on school segregation and discrimination in voter registration. 

This month we will read and discuss An Idea Whose Time Has Come: Two Presidents, Two Parties, and the Battle for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by Todd S. Purdum (2014). Books will be available at Circulation Desk after Monday, August 14. 

Registration requested please.
