Cover for Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert  February's Club Selection

 About: "In an age of miracles where our greatest heroes from history have magically, unexplainably returned to shake us out of our confusion and hate, Harriet Tubman is back, and she has a lot to say. Harriet Tubman and four of the enslaved persons she led to freedom want to tell their story in a unique way. Harriet wants to create a hip-hop album and live show about her life, and she needs a songwriter to help her. She calls upon Darnell, a once successful hip-hop producer who was topping the charts before being outed on a BET talk show. Darnell has no idea what to expect when he steps into the studio with Harriet, only that they have a short period of time to write a legendary album she can take on the road. Over the course of their time together, they not only create music that will take the country by storm, but confront the horrors of both their pasts, and learn to find a way to a better future." - Provided by Publisher 

What is Queer Book Club? 

The Queer Book Club was formed as a collaborative effort between the University Libraries and the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center (GSRC). This inclusive and welcoming space is dedicated to exploring the diverse narratives within the LGBTQ+ spectrum through the lens of literature. Join us monthly for engaging discussions, thoughtful reflections, and an opportunity to connect with fellow book enthusiasts who share a passion for queer literature. Whether you're a member of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally seeking to broaden your perspectives, our Queer Book Club provides a platform to explore and celebrate the rich tapestry of LGBTQ+ experiences.
