SUMMARY:AES & Bright Star Church Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Anshe Emet&nbsp\;Synagogue and Bright Star&nbsp\;Church will ag
 ain have a joint book club discussion.&nbsp\; \nJoin Bright Star Church an
 d Anshe Emet Synagogue's book club for a discussion on The Personal Librar
 ian by Marie Benedict.&nbsp\;\n\nThis meeting will take place at Bright St
 ar (4444 S Evans).\n\nRegister Here\n\nIf you have any questions\, you can
  reach out to Emma Sternberg at esternberg@ansheemet.org.\n\n\n\nAbout the
  book:\n\nIn her twenties\, Belle da Costa Greene is hired by J. P. Morgan
  to curate a collection of rare manuscripts\, books\, and artwork for his 
 newly built Pierpont Morgan Library. Belle becomes a fixture in New York C
 ity society and one of the most powerful people in the art and book world\
 , known for her impeccable taste and shrewd negotiating for critical works
  as she helps create a world-class collection.\n\nBut Belle has a secret\,
  one she must protect at all costs. She was born not Belle da Costa Greene
  but Belle Marion Greener. She is the daughter of Richard Greener\, the fi
 rst Black graduate of Harvard and a well-known advocate for equality. Bell
 e’s complexion isn’t dark because of her alleged Portuguese heritage t
 hat lets her pass as white—her complexion is dark because she is African
  American.\n\nThe Personal Librarian tells the story of an extraordinary w
 oman\, famous for her intellect\, style\, and wit\, and shares the lengths
  she must go to—for the protection of her family and her legacy—to pre
 serve her carefully crafted white identity in the racist world in which sh
 e lives.\n\n&nbsp\;
