The 1st Word
September ‘04
This is the beginning of a wonderful journey for me. The inception of this online magazine is to be a resource for book club advocates everywhere. Our mission is: to be a resource portal for established book clubs, reading group leaders, and
individuals seeking to join or create an African American literary circle in their local vicinity. Our aim is to initiate an exchange platform to address issues that are unique to the African American book
club experience. We seek to promote awareness of literary associations that serve
as a support system by which diverse people from varying backgrounds come together to share a common love for the written
art form. Our overall focus is to help create, sustain and enhance African American
book club networks around the globe. We hope to provide others with a social
outlet that encourages and supports a spiritual bond akin to that of sisterhood and to share that sisterhood
with the local community and beyond.
It is
my hope that you will find the information contained within this site useful and inspirational in creating a book club network
in your hometown! -LYLAS!!

The 20th century has just begun in the South and slavery still
haunts. In a deep-woods region of
Alabama, the tightening noose of Jim Crow is a rude indication of what white people really think
of black people's "freedom." Still, the black population of
Johnson Creek,
Alabama, manages to live their lives with abiding faith and hope.
