Charlotte's Big Read: To Kill a Mockingbird

Per the Charlotte Observer, "The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library system is playing Oprah by challenging the community to pick up a copy of ‘To Kill A Mockingbird' and read it together."

“Re-reading this book at this moment, when we're beginning to take for granted having an African American president, is a powerful reminder of how far we've come, (snip) but also a reminder that a lot of the hurts and injustices are still there.”
