To celebrate Black History Month, the Friends of the Millicent Library will sponsor a discussion of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Percival Everett’s James. We will meet in the auditorium of the Millicent Library at 6:30 on February 24.
In 1884, Twain published the story of Huck Finn, his friend Tom Sawyer, and the fugitive slave Jim as they dodged danger and death on the Mississippi River. The book has remained popular, though controversial, ever since.
In 2024, Percival Everett retold their adventures from the point of view of James—as the fugitive slave prefers to be called. This prize-winning novel is as difficult to put down as the original.
All are welcome whether you’ve read one book, both books—or are just curious.
