Booked & Brilliant YP Book Club: October 2026 Meet-up

Booked & Brilliant, the official ULYP Book Club, continues with The Evidence of Things Not Seen by James Baldwin In The Evidence of Things Not Seen, James Baldwin examines the Atlanta child murders of 1979–1980, using the tragedy to explore the deeper realities of race, justice, power, and inequality in America. Through his sharp reporting and powerful storytelling, Baldwin challenges readers to confront the ways racism shapes communities, institutions, and perceptions of justice. Though written decades ago, the questions Baldwin raises remain deeply relevant today, making this a thought-provoking read for meaningful conversation and reflection. 📚 The Evidence of Things Not Seen: Reissued Edition: Baldwin, James: 9780805039399: Amazon.com: Books Get ready to be a part of the brilliant conversation!
