As part of our queer Black intergenerational lovefest Charis
Circle and the MobileHomeComing (an experiential archive project
amplifying the
brilliance of queer black womyn, gender non-conforming folks and
transmen)  have invited an age-diverse panel of
Black feminist bookworms to gush about the books that got them through. 
Attendees will have the opportunity to
purchase the featured books for themselves, and or to donate them to the
mobilehomecoming to be given as gifts to chosen family around the
country!

Join us as we welcome Kennesaw State University professor Linda Niemann to share from her new book, Railroad Noir: The American West at the end of the 20th Century. Culled from the 20 years she spent traveling the American West as a freight brakeman and conductor, Linda Grant Niemann's Railroad Noir delves into the darker side of railroading. The 1990s were a time of crisis for workers caught in the breakup of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Niemann's tales of exhaustion, alcoholism, homelessness, and corporate blundering present a revelatory account of railroading life.
