The Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee of the League of Women Voters Whitewater Area will hold the first of three Book Club discussions on our spring book selection, An Eye for an I: Growing Up with Blindness, Bigotry, and Family Mental Illness by James Bonilla, on Monday evening, February 9th, 6:15 PM-8:00 PM, at The Whitewater Public Library, 431 W Center St, in Whitewater.
This powerful narrative offers an intersectional analysis of disability, racism, and mental illness, inviting readers to empathize, be inspired, and consider their own potential for social change. Our discussion on February 9th will cover the introduction through Chapter 15. SAVE THE DATES – additional discussions will be held on March 9 (Chapters 16-30) and April 13 (Chapters 31-42) at the same time and location.
ACQUIRE THE BOOK TODAY! A limited supply of books is available at The Book Teller (call 262-269-9109 to hold a copy to purchase) and local libraries. You can also order the book from Amazon.
