S1 E14—Night Hawk by Beverly Jenkins with Krista and Eleanor
While we do talk about the book we read for Jenkins July in the episode, Night Hawk with its famous cover, we honestly spent most of the time talking about the importance of using romance stories to share the untold stories of Black people in America as the history books have tried to erase their history, both the horrific and the exemplary.
The impact of Jenkins is explored along with a discussion of her most famous work, Indigo which is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year.
Below are links to more information on Beverly Jenkins, Including the recorded discussion Krista organized with Ms. Bev that we refer to in this episode, as well as where you can find more on Krista and Eleanor.
