Thursday February 4th ✨ @VanderbiltU Black History Month Community Conversation 🤎 Link in bio for registration
@cjanecrowell Before you disappear....🎄 I’ve been meaning to say thanks for your recommendation of Alice Randall’s Black Bottom Saints back in summer. I had local book store order it and read it a few months ago. Enjoyable and enlightening. Saw your name mentioned in acknowledgments. ❤️
@billjamesonline Black Bottom Saints by Alice Randall about the African American cabaret scene of 1940s Detroit. Also MJ Carter's The Strangler Vine, a detective thriller set in 1837 colonial India. Both books I've been looking forward to reading
For years, I was under the false impression that @RadneyFoster didn't write this wonderful song, although I was certain that he was fully capable of doing so. He wrote it with #AliceRandall, the first #AfricanAmerican woman to co-write a #1 country song. youtu.be/p9tkVbtox1M
I'm working this week but in the evenings I've been able to sneak off earlier than usual to read Alice Randall's Black Bottom Saints. Every page is a joy & it's incredible to read about Black history in Detroit & MI. A must read for any Michigander!
"The country is in a time of reckoning. The world is in the time of pandemic...we are all being asked to rise from the ashes," says...Alice Randall. "And there is no community that we can look to and find better lessons for this current moment than Black Detroit ’38 to ’68.”
@ChadLivengood Devil in the White City and Handmaid’s Tale are excellent. I’d also recommend Black Bottom Saints by Alice Randall. It’s historical fiction; I learned so much about 1920s Detroit.
Today’s book haul: A GIRL IS A BODY OF WATER (Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi) BLACK BOTTOM SAINTS (Alice Randall) WE WERE EIGHT YEARS IN POWER: AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY (Ta-Nehisi Coates) GROUP: HOW ONE THERAPIST AND A CIRCLE OF STRANGERS SAVED MY LIFE (Christie Tate)
President Trump has betrayed the nation. I urge the Vice President and the cabinet to take immediate action to remove the person who incited an insurrection against the nation he was elected to serve from office. He is endangering our most treasured institutions and our lives.
