SUMMARY:Book Club Discussion: Just Mercy
DESCRIPTION:Community Foundation of North Louisiana invites any and all in the community to join Community Reads\, a book club led by CFNLA.  We encourage community members to join us as we read about issues like poverty\, education\, addiction\, mental health\, blight\, and criminal justice reform. Each quarter CFNLA will announce a new book selection. At the end of the quarter\, we will invite up to 25 community members to participate in a group discussion and dialogue about the book. \nThe discussion event will be held on Thursday\, February 20\, 5:30-6:300 PM  at Nader’s Gallery and will be moderated by Michael Hicks\, Assistant Professor of Education at Centenary College of Louisiana. \nAbout the Book\n\n\nBryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative\, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor\, the wrongly condemned\, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian\, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy\, political machination\, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever. \nJust Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic\, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age\, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended\, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice.

SUMMARY:Book Club Discussion: Educated
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in September 2019\, Community Foundation of North Louisiana invites any and all in the community to join Community Reads\, a book club led by CFNLA.  We encourage community members to join us as we read about issues like poverty\, education\, addiction\, mental health\, blight\, and criminal justice reform. Each quarter CFNLA will announce a new book selection. At the end of the quarter\, we will invite up to 25 community members to participate in a group discussion and dialogue about the book.  The discussion\, which will be moderated by local experts\, will also be broadcast live on Facebook to give all in the community the opportunity to listen and participate in the discussion. Interested community members may join the book club or simply sign up to receive Community Reads updates here. \nThis quarter the book club has been reading Educated by Tara Westover. The discussion event will be held on Thursday\, November 14\, 6:00-7:00 PM at Rhino Coffee Uptown and will be moderated by Michael Hicks\, Assistant Professor of Education at Centenary College of Louisiana. Click here to register. \nAbout the Book\nTara spent her childhood in the mountains of Idaho. Born to survivalist parents\, her memories revolve around canning seasons and discussions of avoiding societal detection. Because of her father’s distrust of mainstream society\, Tara never attended school or received any sort of medical care from a doctor or a nurse. When Tara’s brother leaves the mountains for college\, she finds inspiration in his new way of life and strives to follow in his footsteps. Tara’s unusual educational journey leads her to Brigham Young University\, then Harvard\, then Cambridge. Tara ultimately finds freedom in the new perspectives her education has given her.
