The club meets on the third Thursday of each month at 4:30 P.M., normally at the Bradley County Library. The members read books about the African American experience and discuss a book recently read by the members. It was announced that in the future there will be a program relating to the book, "Freedom's Prophet" about Bishop Richard Allen, the founder of the A.M.E. in America.
After a time of testimony concerning Sandra Campbell and what she meant to the community, to the book club and to each of the members, the group spent time talking about "Making A Home For Black History" a book by Vinson Cunningham about the vision and the challenges behind a new museum on the National Mall dedicated to black history in America.
