Illinois Humanities launches our National Endowment for the Arts Big Read series Rememory: haunting, trauma, and historical fiction, a free community book group and event series on Toni Morrison’s #Beloved, Octavia Butler’s #Kindred, and Alejo Carpentier’s #TheKingdomOfThisWorld taking place November 2021-April 2022.

The launch will feature original videos from Ian Damont Martin (The Art Institute of Chicago), Ytasha Womack (author of The World of Black Sci Fi & Fantasy Culture), Nicole Bond (writer & educator, Smart Museum of Art), & Ruben Quesada (poet and author of Revelations) and brilliant commentary from our book group facilitators.
