KCTS 9 Book Club - February

The KCTS 9 Book Club is a virtual* conversation event series, in collaboration with Third Place Books in Seattle and PBS Books.

Monthly book selections are made by a rotating group of Washington authors who will also host the virtual discussions. The twist: authors select books that aren't their own! Most months, books selected are fiction, but we may change it up once every so often. Themes correspond to current programming airing on KCTS 9.

Our February theme is "Black Civil Rights- Heroes of Past & Present" and we'll be reading The Future of Black: Afrofuturism, Black Comics, and Superhero Poetry by Gary Jackson (Editor), Len Lawson (Editor), Cynthia Manick (Editor). Anastacia-Reneé will be the facilitator. The book selection complements these programs on KCTS 9:

• American Masters – Marian Anderson: The Whole World in Her Hands on Tuesday, February 8 at 9 p.m.
• The American Diplomat on Tuesday, February 15 at 9 p.m.
• America Reframed: Fannie Lou Hamer’s America on Tuesday, February 22 at 9 p.m.
