The FFC Writers Group

The FFC Writers Group will resume the week of January 25-30. We have been meeting biweekly via Zoom on Wednesdays at 4:00 PM, but that may be subject to change to accommodate the writers’ preferences and schedules. The group will be limited to ten participants.

Prompts revealed at the previous meeting will provide a common starting point, but from there writing go in many directions. Writers are encouraged to keep their pieces to one page where possible. Each writer sends his or her piece to all participants before each meeting, but reading them ahead of time is discouraged. We have found it is most enjoyable to encounter the writings for the first time in the author’s reading, using the text to support and memorialize the reading.

Invitations will be sent for each session, so please contact the FFC office (franklin.federated@gmail.com) or Lyn Pickhover (lyn@pickhover.net) if you want to be included. Please indicate whether every other Wednesday at 4 PM fits your schedule and also if there are other days and times you would prefer.

Happy writing!

CONNECT GROUP BOOK STUDY

 HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST, by Ibram X. Kendi

Thursday nights, 7:00 – 8:30 by Zoom, February 4 through March 11.

Led by Margo Ball and Jean Southard

We probably all agree that racism has been a stain on the conscience of our country from the very beginning, when the first Africans arrived on our shores in chains. While much progress toward equality of the races has been made, as witnessed by our newly inaugurated Vice-President, the violent mob led by white-supremacists in the Capitol two weeks ago should convince us that much remains to be done. Perhaps even worse than a one-time mob is the steady, day-to-day drip of indignities endured by Black people in America as they are constantly being reminded to stay in their place, and the dangers they face doing ordinary activities like jogging or driving. One way we can learn how to do something about this is to read and discuss Ibram X. Kendi’s book, How To Be an Antiracist. We hope you will join us.

To join the group, please send an email before February 1 to Jean Southard at jksouthard@aol.com. Please read the first three chapters by February 4.
