Welcome to the ITV Book Club. This space is all about exploring marginalized America—centering the lives and experiences of people and communities whose stories have too often been left out of the history many of us were taught.
We come together with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to learn. Along the way, we’ll look not just at these stories themselves, but at the systems that have kept them hidden—and why those silences continue. We meet in a relaxed setting and explore big ideas with curiosity and hope discussing a new book on the 2nd Friday of each month.
Please join our discussion channel ITV-Book-Club on SLACK.

Spanning three continents and eight generations, Yaa Gyasi’s critically acclaimed, debut novel Homegoing begins with two Ghanaian sisters in the 18th century who lead parallel, yet divergent lives: one stays in Ghana and becomes a wealthy slave trader’s wife; one is sold into slavery and sent to America. The novel follows the lives of their descendants—from Ghana’s beaches to the plantations of Mississippi, the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem—offering an essential examination of power and privilege, memory and legacy.
