WHAT WE ARE READING
Next Meeting: August 4 at 7:00 PM via Zoom (link below)
When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America’s Black Botanical Legacy by Beronda L. Montgomery
From Goodreads.com, "In When Trees Testify, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the way seven trees—as well as the cotton shrub—are intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants."
Print copies of the book are available from Wake County Public Libraries and it is available at local and online booksellers in multiple formats.
The Zoom link for the meeting is above, as well as in the church calendar on the CPC app under the Cool Books Club entry. If you would like more information, please contact Ellen Cline. All are welcome!
