'WORD TO THE PEOPLE' Book Club: All About Love by bell hooks
About this Event
Join SCOPE's 'WORD TO THE PEOPLE' Book Club!
Word to the People is SCOPE’s newly launched club that uses literature as a tool to challenge mainstream myths, uplift marginalized truths, and explore Black and Brown social issues.
For this cycle, we are diving into All About Love by bell hooks at LORE Leimert Park
Why this isnt your average book club:
- Multimedia Deep Dives: We analyze the book alongside music videos, speeches, and articles to decode complex social issues.
- Community Dialogue: We connect our featured books to the everyday realities and stories of South LA residents.
- Hands-On Art: We don't just read; we create. Every cycle wraps up with an accessible creative activity to help participants express and reflect at the end of each reading cycle.
Together we will:
- Connect theory with South LA lived experiences
- Deepen community bonds
- Integrate art as a tool for reflection and social change
- Advance media literacy
Come for the book, stay for the dialogue. FREE FOOD while supplies last. Space is limited—reserve your spot today!

About the book: All About Love: New Visions (2000) discusses the aspects of love in modern society. From our flawed understanding of what love is to our misguided expectations of romantic love, author bell hooks examines common barriers to love and explains the steps individuals need to take for society to become more loving and nurturing.
About the author: The late bell hooks was a professor, writer, social activist, Black feminist, and cultural critic whose work focused on sociology, education, gender, and race. NOTE: ‘bell hooks’ is purposefully lowercase. This was the way she always wrote it
