As part of the Year of James Baldwin, the Free Library is hosting one of many Philadelphia Reads James Baldwin reading groups throughout the city in collaboration with the Saturday Free School for Philosophy and Black Liberation. Celebrate the life, work, and legacy of James Baldwin as we commemorate his 100th year, and join us to delve into some of James Baldwin's essays and discuss the material as a group.

The Free Library reading group will be led by Dr. Anthony Monteiro. We will meet every Monday from 6:00-7:45 p.m. Please note that we will not meet on October 14th and November 11th.

The reading group will take place in the Heim Center, Room 108 (this week only) at Parkway Central Library. Reading materials will be provided and time to do the readings as a group will be incorporated into the evening followed by group discussion. No RSVP is required.
