Discussion Series - led by Suzanne Brown
A Vermont Humanities Reading and Discussion Series program. 

The United States is a nation defined by violence, sometimes heroic and sometimes monstrous. Through a combination of both fiction and non-fiction, this series explores the connection between mob violence and American culture, historically spurred often by racism.   Suzanne Brown is a retired Visiting Assistant Professor at Dartmouth College and has led Vermont Humanities and New Hampshire Humanities Council book discussions for over 30 years.

This program meets four times with Ms. Brown to discuss the books below and other related topics.  We will gather at 12:00PM in the community room for every session.  Participants can pick up a copy of each book at the circulation desk.

10/11 The Rope: A True Story of Murder, Heroism & the Dawn of the NAACP, Alex Tresniowski
