Event Details

Through Their Eyes Book Club is a biography and memoir book club.  The 2nd Tuesday of each month, we will read and discuss a biography or memoir. 

For October we will be reading Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo" by Zora Neale Hurston. Barracoon is a biography about Cudjo Lewis. Lewis was one of the last-known survivors of the Atlantic slave trade alive in the 1930's. Hurston captured his story.

Zora Neal Hurston was an American author, anthropologist, and filmmaker, who wrote about racial struggles in the early 1900s. Her most popular novel was Their Eyes Were Watching God, published in 1937.
