🚽Today we're diving into "The Help", a fascinating novel set in Jim Crow Era Mississippi. We tend to look back at history and think we'd be "one of the good ones". We'd be hiding Jews in our basements, we'd be marching for civil rights with MLK Jr., but is that certain? How can we know? The Help examines some fascinating perspectives, but are they accurate? Can a white woman effectively tell the story of a black woman? Join us as we discuss storytelling, intersectionality, bathroom initiatives, and some of the controversy around "The Help".Â
