Launch into Black History Month by reading “Sweat”, a 9-page short story by anthropologist and folklorist Zora Neale Hurston! The story follows Delia, a wash-woman in an abusive relationship with her husband Sykes. The story’s rich religious symbolism leads us to ask: Why do we allow ourselves to be mistreated by the people we love? And at what point do we draw the line?
The discussion takes place via Google Meets, from 7-8pm ET on Monday, February 2. Ticket sales capped at 10 people.
