2009 began with the historic inauguration of the first African-American President of the United States of America, President Barack Obama. A joyous and momentous occasion that we celebrated and continue to take pride in.
We continue to relish our interest in contemporary social issues, even more than before. This year we have selected six excellent titles for discussion.

- POST TRAUMATIC SLAVE SYNDROME by Joy Leary
- ACCOUNTABLE by Tavis Smiley
