About The Event
Each month, we'll explore a thought-provoking book connecting the past to today's most important movements and talk with the Author in-person! This month, we’re reading Prayer and Pen: The Prayers & Legacy of Carl Murphy, Publisher of The AFRO American Newspaper (1922-1967) by Frances Murphy Draper
In this collection lovingly curated by Murphy’s granddaughter and current AFRO publisher, Dr. Frances Murphy Draper, travel back in time and journey through more than 50 original prayers from this cultural hero and pioneer. With each reading, reflect on Murphy’s authentic conversations with God and the perseverance and strength expressed by many as they were called to navigate Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement, the Great Depression, two world wars, and other tumultuous, defining moments in United States history.
As an added benefit, LCJM Book Club members enjoy exclusive access to special perks, including discounted books, complimentary self-guided tours, priority registration for programs, and more.
