Read It and Reap: Lancaster resident launches book club focusing on Black writers
By Ann Connery Frantz
The mostly white residents of Lancaster are exploring literatures from the Black community, thanks to the idea of a resident who launched a book club for them. After several months meeting online, they look forward to a time when they can meet in person. The book club is the brain child of Sedruola “Sedie” Maruska.
“I know that Black authors are often overlooked but have a lot to share about the Black experience, whether it’s fiction or nonfiction,” she said. “I also wanted to read more Black literature and have a place to discuss it. The timing seemed right.”
