The Nonfiction Book Group for Adults meets on the 4th Monday of each month from 7:00 - 8:00 PM in September, October, November, January, February, March, and April.  We'll read non-fiction books which focus on a one theme per year. 

There is also a 2nd meeting covering this book on Tuesday, September 26 from 7:00-8:00 PM that you may prefer to attend. 

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.
