Join Librarians Devon and Joy for this month's Staff Picks review. This episode focuses on Black History Month and offers fiction and nonfiction recommendations. Books discussed include a coming-of-age tale set in Chicago's South Side, an award-winning biography about Malcolm X, the story of a seamstress in Ghana, an oral historian's search for her ancestors, a book that's being called part The Handmaid's Tale and part The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, and the history of a travel guide for black motorists.
