CLASSIC FICTION FORUM: THE BLACKER THE BERRY

CLASSIC FICTION DISCUSSION GROUP

THE BLACKER THE BERRY
by Wallace Thurman

Tuesday, Nov. 19th at 6:30 pm

Wallace Thurman’s controversial 1929 classic was groundbreaking & shocking. 
Thurman not only examines racism, but specifically puts focus
on intra-racial racism and “colorism.”  Colorism is the prejudice within the
black community that favors light-skinned individuals over dark-skinned individuals. 
The novel takes its dark complected female protagonist from Idaho to
California to Harlem, a journey that encompasses rejection, love affairs,
and the exciting world of Harlem nightclubs! 
A bold, fascinating, and still very relevant fiction classic!

REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
