History by the Book meets to discuss historical fiction and non-fiction books. We explore the deeper stories behind historical events and periods in the past.

In Harlem Rhapsody by Victoria Christopher Murray, Jessie Redmon Fauset arrives in Harlem in 1919 to fulfill her dream as the first Black woman literary editor of The Crisis. Despite a secret affair with her boss W. E. B. Du Bois, she becomes a driving force behind the Harlem Renaissance. Jessie discovers and nurtures talents like Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen, helping The Crisis become a literary powerhouse. As her own novel garners acclaim, Jessie must grapple with the personal sacrifices behind her groundbreaking success.
