We will discuss "The Coming," a historical fiction novel by Daniel Black that chronicles the Middle Passage tale of African ancestral resilience. Joyce Williams will lead the discussion. Free lunch!

The Coming tells the story of an African people's capture and sojourn from their homeland across the Middle Passage. This haunting, traumatic journey exposed the strength and resolve of the African spirit. Dr. Daniel Black, award-winning novelist, is a longtime professor and serves as the 2025–2026 Toni Morrison Writer-in-Residence at Prairie View A&M College. His published works include They Tell Me of a Home, The Sacred Place, Perfect Peace, Twelve Gates to the City, The Coming, Listen to the Lambs, Don't Cry for Me, Black on Black and Isaac's Song.

Join the Friends of the Rudisill Regional Library for a book discussion led by African and African American bibliophile Joyce Williams. You may bring ancestral samples of art if you'd like, enjoy a free lunch or bring your own lunch.
