Upcoming Event

The Beautiful Struggle's cover


October’s book selection is The Beautiful Struggle: A Memoir by Ta-Nehisi Coates, which we will discuss on October 26th at 6 PM CT via Zoom. The Beautiful Struggle is a brilliant coming of age story of one of this era’s most important public intellectuals. It traces the journey of a young man and his family navigating urban America during the Reagan Era, with an emerging hip-hop cultural aesthetic as the soundtrack.

The ABHM Book Club is free and open to all who are able to attend, although the books will need to be purchased by each participant. If you are having trouble finding a copy, please email admin@abhmuseum.org.

About ABHM Book Club:

America’s Black Holocaust Museum’s founder, Dr. James Cameron, was an avid reader and inspiring writer and educator. To this day, he is the only known survivor of a lynching to write and publish a memoir about such an experience. In his honor, we created this book club in November of 2020 to bring together a community of all backgrounds to learn about and discuss our collective past, modern manifestations of racism, and how we create racial repair, reconciliation, and healing for a better the future.

Comments Are Welcome

Note: We moderate submissions in order to create a space for meaningful dialogue, a space where museum visitors – adults and youth –– can exchange informed, thoughtful, and relevant comments that add value to our exhibits.

Racial slurs, personal attacks, obscenity, profanity, and SHOUTING do not meet the above standard. Such comments are posted in the exhibit Hateful Speech. Commercial promotions, impersonations, and incoherent comments likewise fail to meet our goals, so will not be posted. Submissions longer than 120 words will be shortened.
