​The 2020 Unity Congregation Book Read

The Nickel Boys​ by Colson Whitehead
Based on the true story of the hellish Dozier reform school that operated from 1900-2011, The Nickel Boys chronicles the experience of two Black boys sentenced there (one mistakenly) in the 1960s. The tension between one boy’s ideals, adopted from Martin Luther King, and the other’s skepticism leads to a decision that will echo down the decades. A story of the past that is still making news and has parallels to events today. Written by “America’s Storyteller,” as named by Time Magazine. One of Time Magazine’s 10 Best Fiction Books of the Decade, winner of the Kirkus Prize, and longlisted for the 2019 National Book Award.
Read in January. Discuss in February: Sunday, February 23, at 12:30 p.m., and Wednesday, February 26, at 7:15 p.m.
