Women's History Month
Poto Mitan -Haitian Women Pillars of the Global Community
Friday, March 19th
Time: 7pm
Location: The Dock Bookshop
Cost: free w/ light refreshments
*Poto Mitan gives the global economy a human face. Each woman's personal story explains neoliberal globalization, how it is gendered, and how it impacts Haiti: inhumane working/living conditions, violence, poverty, lack of education, and poor health care. While Poto Mitan offers in-depth understanding of Haiti, its focus on women's subjugation, worker exploitation, poverty, and resistance demonstrates these are global struggles. Finally, through their collective activism, these women demonstrate that despite monumental obstacles in a poor country like Haiti, collective action makes change possible.

 A Mother's Son
Saturday, March 13th 3-5pm
This gripping part-memoir, part-fiction novel is a passionate story of a young man's life told from the heart and mind of his grandmother. A child born with Sickle Cell Anemia, his only remedy was his grandmother's potions and ointments along with her stories. Holding himgently as pain gripped his body, she told him stories of Post Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Civil rights Movement where a prince of peace flew over the mountaintop, and transformed himself into a black revolutionary.
Her most compelling story talks of a boy struggling through his pain by wandering the streets as the Black Panther. His struggle for identity took him to the brink of insanity-where he found himself-and emerged as a man who dedicated his life helping those who have fallen through the cracks of despair, drug abusers, and lost children who carry the psychological wounds of slavery.

Book Review of The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
When we first meet 14-year-old Susie Salmon, she is already in heaven. This was before milk carton photos and public service announcements, she tells us; back in 1973, when Susie mysteriously disappeared, people still believed these things didn't happen.
With love, longing, and a growing understanding, Susie watches her family as they cope with their grief, her father embarks on a search for the killer, her sister undertakes a feat of amazing daring, her little brother builds a fort in her honor and begin the difficult process of healing.
Got It Like That

Time: 3:00-5:00pm

Book Review of You Got It Twisted by Darrell Woolen.
Do you long to meet that perfect mate; to discover if marriage is a part of God's plan for you? Have you had your heart broken by someone who turned out to be completely wrong for you? If you'd only known beforehand . . . You Got It Twisted addresses these questions and many more in a matter-of-fact style that is rooted in the Bible as well as in the sometimes agonizing life experiences of the author.
