Afternoon Book Group: I Pass as White, by Bill Pointer In-Person

Join us the third Tuesday of every month for an in-depth discussion of quality best-selling fiction and nonfiction books including biographies.*

**Join us for a special in-person discussion with Laura Pointer, whose father is the topic of this biography.** She writes:

This book was written in the 1950s by our dad. The manuscript was found after he passed away. This is his story of what hate, ignorance, poverty, and racism can do to a nation.

About the book: What if you could change the direction of your life? Would you have the strength to make sacrifices to get there? Bill Pointer had that strength. In these pages, you will see the price he paid for security and happiness. His life started out just like most people. There was mom, dad, friends, school, several jobs, and the ambition to get ahead. But that is where the similarity ends. Bill's journey through life was full of pain and misery and fear. Every day was an uncertainty to Bill. This story is about the past and the future of a race, as well as that of a person.

Registration requested. Copies of the book are usually available at the Circulation Desk.
