This AMG Book Club meeting on the UCLA Common book: I Never Had it Made by Jackie Robinson which was facilitated by Librarian, Lise Snyder.
We had wonderful discussions on the choice of Jackie Robinson, the impact(s) he had on the Civil Rights movement and what recent events mean in terms of this ongoing Civil Rights struggle, progress and process. This book provided a context for a discussion that was valuable to those in attendance whether it had been a book club event or simply a roundtable discussion on these same topics.
