Monthly Book Discussion – October Edition – Tuesday, October 28 at 5:00

This month’s book discussion is about Tales from the Haunted South: Dark Tourism and Memories of Slavery from the Civil War Era by Tiya Miles.

Miles explores the popular yet troubling phenomenon of “ghosts tours”, frequently promoted and experienced at plantations, urban manor homes, and cemeteries throughout the South. As a staple of the tours, guides entertain paying customers by routinely relying on stories of enslaved black specters. But who are these ghosts?

Plan on joining in the discussion on October 28th at 5:00. Check with the library to borrow a copy of this engaging book.
