BJC Open Book Discussion

Now Fourth Wednesday of the Month (Usually)

 

 

Upcoming Books

bulletJune 25 Open Book Discussion: The Race Beat Please join us on June 25 at 8 p.m. to discuss The Race Beat by Gene Robert, a journalism professor at the University of Maryland, and Hank Klibanoff, managing editor for news at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The book tells the story of how the nation’s press, after decades of ignoring the race problem, came to recognize the importance of the civil rights struggle and turn it into the most significant domestic news event of the twentieth century. Drawing on private correspondence, notes from secret meetings, unpublished articles, and interviews, the authors go behind the headlines and datelines to show how a dedicated cadre of newsmen—first black reporters, then liberal southern editors, then reporters and photographers from the national press and the broadcast media— revealed to a nation its most shameful shortcomings and propelled its citizens to act.
bulletDrop-ins and new members are always welcome. Call (301) 946-3629 for directions.Contact Evelyn Ganzglass 202-966-7037 or Ruth Rosenberg 703-560-9525 for more information.

Jewish Chant Circle and Havdalah
Next: June 21, 2008 4:30-6pm

Upcoming Dates (usually second Saturday of the month)
 

Chanting is a form of meditation that can open the doors of the heart. Repetition of a sacred phrase can clear the mind of clutter, focus and refine intentions and connect us to each other. Join us on Saturday, Nov. 4 from 4 to 6 p.m. in Covenant Hall for an afternoon of chant and meditation; experience the power and potential of this pathway to soul healing. No prior knowledge of singing, chanting, or Hebrew language is necessary. If you like, bring a mat or pillow, for your comfort. Please RSVP to Yaffah18@aol.com
