A Look at Black History Through Jazz (In-person)

Guest presenter Sanford Josephson, Editor of Jersey Jazz Magazine, will take us on a tour of significant movements in the history of jazz. Josephson will take attendees on a journey through the rich and vibrant history of jazz, focusing on the important role it played in the Harlem Renaissance, as well as the experiences of expatriates and their resistance to racism. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or simply looking to learn more about the genre, this discussion is engage and captivate all in attendance.  

Yellowface

White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences… Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn’t write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American—in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel. 

The Wager

From the author of Killers of the Flower Moon, a page-turning story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. The powerful narrative reveals the deeper meaning of the events on The Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire.
