For those who missed yesterday’s panel at @CUNYDSI discussing Transatlantic Bondage edited by @liacostacorniel we are plotting a #Slaveryarchive book club session to discuss the book, stay tuned.

We spoke with author Ryan Dowd about his book, "The Librarian's Guide to Homelessness," as part of ALA Editions/ALA Neal-Schuman's new online book club. It was a fascinating discussion that offered tools that can improve human relations across the board. bit.ly/49ugiJR
