Book Group: Scottsboro
Type: Book Discussion
Date: Feb 18
Time: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Age Range: 14+

Written by Ellen Feldman, intertwining historical actors and fictional characters, "Scottsboro" is a powerful novel about race, class, sex, and a lie that refuses to die. No crime in American history, let alone a crime that never occurred, resulted in as many trials, convictions, reversals, and seminal Supreme Court decisions. It destroyed lives, forged careers, and brought out the best-and the worst-in the men and women who fought for the cause. Discussion led by Jim Smethurst, University of Massachusetts
