The C. O. W. S. Bill Russell's Second Wind Part 1 #RCWilliams
from The C.O.W.S.
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 1st study session on the late Bill Russell's 1979 publication, Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man. Russell passed away on July 31st of this year at the age of 88. The NBA titan won eleven championships and was elected to the basketball Hall of Fame. However, he is most known for his counter-racist efforts - which includes lots of writing. We previously discussed the abridged version of Russell's Louisiana childhood in Isabel Wilkerson's The Warmth of Other Suns. Gus noted that Wilkerson omits key counter-violence elements to the narrative We'll hear about his formative Louisiana years and the black parents and grandparents who produced Mr. William Felton Russell. Lots of counter-violence and black self respect in this work! And another White co-author, historian Taylor Branch. #RCWilliams #Katrina17 #Louisiana #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#
