Book Club - with Nelson Mandela

Book club has met three times now, to discuss Nelson Mandela's autobiography Long Walk to Freedom. The idea stemmed from students who are not taking history this year (mostly sophomores) and Dave and Rachel Chamberlain, who felt it would be remiss not to reflect on Nelson Mandela's life after his passing. There are about ten students involved and a few staff members too. It has been really fun gathering in this informal setting, in Dave and Rachel's apartment, discussing history, politics, human nature, childhood, education, race, revolution, violence and non-violence, and more - all topics raised in Mandela's book. It has been pretty cool to engage in conversation this way. Here are a few photos from last night.
