Please join us on Wednesday, November 6 at 7:30pm in Hoffman Hall as we discuss Becoming by Michelle Obama. An instant bestseller, this book offers an inspiring account of the former First Lady’s journey from the South Side of Chicago to Princeton, then to Harvard Law, and eventually the White House. Described by a New Yorker writer as “truth-telling and life-affirming, an artifact from a lost time of moral uprightness and elegance,” Michelle Obama offers a well paced account of family, friendship, love and grief as well the trials of a political life. One of the great gifts of Obama’s book is her loving and frank bearing-witness to the lived experiences of the black working class, the invisible people who don’t make the evening news and whom not enough of us choose to see.  Janet Bishop will be leading our discussion.
