After I read Isabel Wilkerson's book, I thought I would find other like minds here in the Bay Area to share and discuss the book's assumptions.
I was wrong.

@bikemonterey@sfba.social@muiren We watched Origins last night, excellent, just as we’d expected of Ava DuVernay, and are glad to see our local public library has Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents in multiple formats, including large print, sound recording, and book adaptation for young adults. https://www.montereylibrary.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=&q=caste+isabel+wilkerson&limit=&weight_search=1

The film wasn't the point.
Not finding interest in discussing the book that inspired it.
Sadly, the last local book club of seniors I joined in my hope for like minds, consciously avoided any challenging text by authors like Wilkerson, or the late Octavia E. Butler, but instead prefers books like Woopie Goldberg's biography.
