The Cookout

[Lamarr]

The main goal of the 6zeros Book Club is to provide a space for learning, discussion, cultural exchange and increased understanding between all people of African descent around the world.

We believe that we must seriously and diligently research our own as well as each other’s history, with the purpose of learning from each others mistakes and successes, healing together,
and building together, so that we can grow back into the giants that we once were.

There will be a separate thread made for each book in the library, where all discussions on that book will take place.

If you start a book and don’t see a thread already made for it, feel free to take the initiative and make it.

A badge will be given for each book that you complete in the library.

Let’s get it!

we’ll never be able to unite without first understanding one another so this is a good idea.

Added a link to the 6Zeros library with all the books listed here so far plus a couple more to the OP.

I'll add on as we go, and all book club books will be available there.

@Lamarr have you thought about instead of making threads for each book maybe a subforum or separate page for it? I see yall have a blog page.

Mastamind let me know if you want to start reading it and we can kinda help keep each other accountable lol. It's real deep, found my myself having to have the dictionary handy with this one. The concepts and all of that are deep. Read 1 paragraph and be stuck in processing mode lol.
