<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Join us for books and brews at the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services’ in-person book discussions in August in both Michigan and Indiana. We will discuss this year’s winning title for Libraries Read: 1
Book, <i>When They Call You a Terrorist</i> by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele. According to </span><u><span style="color:#0563C1"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34964998-when-they-call-you-a-terrorist" target="_blank"><span style="color:#954F72">GoodReads</span></a></span></u><span style="color:black">,
this book is, "a poetic and powerful memoir about what it means to be a Black woman in America—and the co-founding of a movement that demands justice for all in the land of the free… <i>When They Call You a Terrorist</i> is Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele’s
reflection on humanity. It is an empowering account of survival, strength and resilience and a call to action to change the culture that declares innocent Black life expendable." Those who submitted the title for consideration felt it would be a fantastic
point to bring this conversation into the libraries, and to help us better understand the communities that we serve.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
