The MLK Black Studies Book Club meets the first Saturday of each month to explore, engage, and discuss books from and relating to the Black radical tradition. Selections include classics from authors such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, W.E.B. DuBois, James Baldwin, and Audre Lorde, as well as lesser known and contemporary works. The book club's scope encompasses an array of authors from across the African diaspora who challenge existing notions of what constitutes Blackness and Black Struggle.
