JOAN LESTER at Books Inc. in Opera Plaza

Help us celebrate Black History Month as JOAN LESTER shares her YA novel Black, White, Other: In Search of Nina Armstrong. Twenty miles from Oakland, California, where fires have led to racial tension, multi-racial fifteen-year-old Nina faces the bigotry of long-time friends, her parents' divorce, and her brother's misbehavior, while learning of her great-great grandmother Sarah's escape from slavery.
