Join us to discuss Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize winning The Nickel Boys on Zoom.
The Nickel Boys describes life in a reform school from the point of view of a young Black teenager. Whitehead based Nickel Academy on the real life Dozier School, a Florida facility that ran for over a century, until a university investigation publicized its racist and abusive practices.
