The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates

About this event

Welcome to our first event. We will be reading The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates. We are meeting at Vine Street Brewing. Here is a short summary of the book: Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram was robbed of all memory of her—but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. This brush with death births an urgency in Hiram and a daring scheme: to escape from the only home he’s ever known. I look forward to meeting you all. I will post an exact meeting point at the location closer to the event.
