DESCRIPTION:Join a community viewing of the recording of our SCPL Virtual Author Talk 
 with Lee Hawkins and join the discussion afterwards. Hawkins' book, I Am 
 Nobody’s Slave, tells the story of one Black family's pursuit of the 
 American Dream through the impacts of systemic racism and racial violence. 
 This book examines how trauma from enslavement and Jim Crow shaped their 
 outlook on thriving in America, influenced each generation, and how they 
 succeeded despite these challenges.\n\nLight refreshments will be provided. 
 Registration is recommended and drop-ins are welcome. The live discussion 
 takes place February 18th at 11am. To view the live interactive discussion,

 https://libraryc.org/santacruzpl\n\nHawkins explores the role of 
 racism-triggered childhood trauma and chronic stress in shortening his 
 ancestors' lives, using genetic testing, reporting, and historical data to 
 craft a moving family portrait. This book shows how genealogical research 
 can educate and heal Americans of all races, revealing through their story 
 the story of America—a journey of struggle, resilience, and the heavy 
 cost of ultimate success. Register today to join the conversation!\n\nAbout
