The April book is How the Word is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America by Clint Smith. A deeply researched exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, Smith's debut work offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.

The May book is Stasiland: Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall by Anna Funder.
Stasiland is a work of literary journalism that explores life in
former East Germany through the personal stories of those who lived under the communist
regime and its secret police, the Stasi.
The President has invited WVU retirees to a reception at Blaney House. An invitation and more information will be available soon.
