- **Event Description**: Melanated Women Read is a book discussion group by and especially for Black women. This month we will discuss These Heathens, by Mia Mckenzie.

Where do you get an abortion in 1960 Georgia, especially if your town’s midwife goes to the same church as your parents? For 17-year-old Doris, the answer is Atlanta.

While waiting to hear from the doctor who has agreed to do the procedure, Doris finds herself scandalized by, but drawn to, celebrities, civil rights leaders, women who dance close together, and the transformative power of leaving your bubble, even for just one chaotic weekend.
