The Next Page Book & Social Club will meet at 6:30pm Wednesday, February 19 at The Hangry Lady to discuss Running While Black by Alison Mariella Desir.“Running While Black draws on Désir's experience as an endurance athlete, activist, and mental health advocate to explore why the seemingly simple, human act of long distance running for exercise and health has never been truly open to Black people. Weaving historical context - from the first recreational running boom to the horrific murder of Ahmaud Arbery - together with her own story of growth in the sport, Désir unpacks how we got here and advocates for a world where everyone is free to safely experience the life-changing power of movement.” (Portfolio)
Copies of Running While Black are available for purchase at NPB for 40% off the cover price; however, attendees are not required to obtain their books at the shop. As always, refreshments will be available for those who attend. For more information about the Next Page Book & Social Club, message or email the store.
