Join a book club for active senior citizens. Susanne Nirschl Cogar from the Barberton Public Library is the group discussion facilitator.Members and non-members are welcome.
The book selection for February is Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule.
Julia Grant, beloved as Ullyses S. Grant’s wife and the First Lady, grappled with a profound and complex relationship with Jule, the slave who was her namesake. While Julia spoke out for women -- Union and Confederate -- she continued to hold Jule as a slave behind Union lines. Upon the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, Jule claimed her freedom and rose to prominence as a businesswoman in her own right.
