The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County, Hoptown Chronicle, the Christian County Literacy Council, and the bell hooks Legacy Group invite you to the next gathering of the bell hooks Book Club, an informal group who will come together in conversation of Hopkinsville native bell hooks and her extensive work. The next gathering will be this coming Monday, May 19 at 6pm at the Pennyroyal Area Museum.

The group continues its discussion of bell hooks’s 2000 book All About Love: New Visions. Writer, cultural critic, feminist icon, and Hopkinsville native bell hooks explores what causes a polarized society and how to heal divisions. This New York Times bestselling book offers the truth about love in an expansive context and gives inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in all our interactions.

The group will discuss Chapter 1 “Clarity: Give Love Words” and Chapter 2 “Justice: Childhood Love Lessons.” Discussions of following chapters will be held on the third Monday of each month.

Copies of All About Love are available in The Vault by Planters Bank Museum Shop, online through our Shopify store, to check out from the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library, or from Amazon or your favorite bookseller.

The bell hooks Legacy Group is a grassroots alliance that nurtures the meaning and impact of the writer’s stories, essays and poems in her hometown, Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where she began life as Gloria Jean Watkins. Follow bellhookslegacygroup on Instagram for more information.
