TIME TO VOTE!

Here are the books, in alphabetical order, nominated for our November meeting. Please vote for no more than three (3) books.  You may vote until 10 p.m. Friday night:

Michele Alexander, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness

Maggie Anderson, Our Black Year: One family's Quest to Buy Black in America's Racially Divided Economy. 

Nathan McCall, Makes Me Wanna Holler: A Young Black Man in America

Eugene Robinson, Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America

NOMINATIONS ARE OPEN

We're back in business next week, as we gather at UR next Saturday, September 15, room 500 in Ryland Hall at 5 p.m., to discuss Our Man in the Dark, by Rashad Harrison. I'm looking forward to it.

Our next meeting after that, on Saturday, November 19, will feature WIDE OPEN NON-FICTION, which means exactly that: no fiction, no poetry, no plays. Everything else is in the mix as a possibility.

Please nominate no more than two (2) books. Nominations will stay open until Wednesday at 10 p.m., then we'll vote on the nominations for the next book selection until Friday at 10 p.m., when the poll  will close. If there's a tie---and only if there's a tie; even a one-vote margin is a legitimate victory---we'll break the tie by secret-ballot vote at the meeting.
