SUMMARY:Fox Read 2022 Book Discussion at Bedford Free Library
DESCRIPTION:At Bedford Free Library\nProgram will be held in the Library or
  via Zoom\, pending current CDC guidelines\n\nThe Bedford Teacher's Associ
 ation presents a community read of The Beautiful Struggle by Ta-Nehisi Coa
 tes.\nFrom the book cover...\n"In this poetic and powerful memoir we meet 
 Paul Coates: a Vietnam vet and a Black Panther\, an old-school disciplinar
 ian and an Aquarian believer in free love\, a radical publisher and a recl
 aimer of lost histories. Most of all\, he was an enigmatic god to his seve
 n children\, with a mission to carry them across the shoals of inner-city 
 adolescence and through the collapsing civilization of Baltimore in the Ag
 e of Crack. His main challenges were Ta-Nehisi\, spacey and comically misc
 alibrated for his environment\, and Big Bill\, charismatic and equipped fo
 r the streets. This thrillingly original story about fathers and sons evok
 es the golden moments within a dark age and chronicles--in startlingly bea
 utiful language--the richly complex interior lives of boys trying to becom
 e men."\nCopies of the book\, both the original version and an adaptation 
 for Young Adults (YA)\, are available for checkout at the Library.&nbsp\; 
 Book Discussions will be hosted by local libraries throughtout the month o
 f February.&nbsp\; See More Information below for locations\, dates and ti
 mes.\n\nRegister Here\n\nMore Information\n\n&nbsp\;
