NEW SALEM The New Salem Public Library’s two-part Zoom program, “Let’s Talk About Race,” will continue on Tuesday, May 11, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. with a discussion of Layla Saad’s book, “Me and White Supremacy.” The program will be led by local racial justice activists Jade Barker and Cate Woolner.

They feature informal shots of Blixen at home on her coffee farm in the foothills south-west of Nairobi seen with her dogs, on horseback, taking tea but also staged, awkward pictures of her black servants and local natives lined up for the camera, images fashioned by colonialist
