Latest News
A letter to LLC members from LLC's President Sheila Brush
LLC needs to identify a new Vice President who will be ready to move into the role of President in 2026. As a peer-led, all volunteer organization with a collaborative approach to learning and to running our organization, LLC's continued success depends on members ready to lead the organization. We want to move quickly to identify and appoint a Vice President who will begin to serve immediately. Serving as VP provides time to "learn the ropes" before becoming president. The VP also serves ex officio on several committees and takes on work to assist the President. You can find Sheila's email (dated Nov 18) with more information in your inbox.

A Few Days Full of Trouble: Revelations on the Journey to Justice for My Cousin and Best Friend, Emmett Till (Nonfiction) by Rev. Wheeler Parker, Jr., and Christoper Benson
Reverend Wheeler, the last living Black witness to the 1955 murder of his cousin and best friend Emmett Till, presents poignant recollections of Emmett as a boy, critical insights into the most recent investigation, and powerful lessons for racial reckoning, both then and now. Wheeler raises the questions “What is justice? What is accountability? What is forgiveness?” In the end, is the answer to a lack of justice to get out and make sure justice is never denied again? — Diana Grady
Somebody’s Daughter (Memoir) by Ashley C. Ford
Ford tells her story of growing up as Black and poor in Indiana with a father she knows only through loving letters from prison and a mother who instills her own fears into her daughter. As she matures, Ford struggles with her changing body and how men look at her. She often turns to her grandmother for support, and it is from her grandmother that she learns why her father was incarcerated. This revelation forces Ford to reconcile her love for her father and his past criminal actions. It is a powerful story of family dynamics. — Joan Hausrath
