The book selection for July is "The Black Box: Writing the Race" by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Dr. Gates is a well known professor of Black History, but most people know him as the host for the PBS series "Finding Your Roots". Distilled over many years from his Harvard introductory course in African American Studies, this book is the story of Black self- definition described through the work of Black writers over many decades from Phillis Wheatley and Frederick Douglass to more modern writers Richard Wright, James Baldwin and Toni Morrison. Through their essays, speeches, novels, plays, and poems, a long line of creative thinkers have shown the rest of the world the contours of the black box inside which society has assigned this "nation within a nation" to live.
