FOUR HUNDRED SOULS
with REV KELLY ISOLA
MONDAYS APR 10- MAY 12, 2021
6:30-8:30pm CST [Zoom]
Four Hundred Souls is a unique “community” history of African Americans. The editors have assembled ninety brilliant writers, each of whom takes on a five-year period of that four-hundred-year span. The writers explore their periods through historical essays, short stories, personal vignettes, poetry and fiery polemics.
They approach history through the eyes of towering historical icons, the untold stories of ordinary people; through places, laws, and objects. While themes of resistance and struggle, of hope and reinvention, course through the book, this collection of diverse pieces from ninety different minds, reflecting ninety different perspectives, unlocks the startling range of experiences and ideas that have always existed within the community of Blackness.
We invite you to purchase your book from a Black-owned bookstore.
