NEHMA Presents PBS Utah's "Book Club in a Box" – Theme: Civil Rights
February 13, 2020
“Book Club in a Box� pairs a novel with a PBS Utah documentary on different topics each month. Every second Thursday of the month, NEHMA hosts a discussion of the book and film with local scholars and faculty, also including a discussion of a related artwork from the museum’s collection.
In honor of Black History Month, February’s book club will focus on The Civil Rights Movement and explore the fight for social justice and racial equality in the United States.
Book: "Coming of Age in Mississippi" by Civil Rights activist Anne Moody
PBS Utah documentary: "Utah’s Freedom Riders"
Learn more about the book and the film on NEHMA’s website.
Book discussion led by Scott Bushman, Program Coordinator and Past-President of the Cache Valley Historical Society
Film discussion led by Nancy Green, PBS Utah producer
Art discussion led by Paul Crumbly, USU English professor
The event is free and open to all — no sign-up required! Light refreshments will be served. Although certainly helpful, reading the book isn’t required to participate in “Book Club in a Box� events.
