Come learn and discuss Blues & Pop Culture with Jim Mason, local Radio Host and Activist. All are invited to register for this free virtual event.

Jim Mason, Radio Host (KZSU 90.1's Vintage Wine) and Activist, is joining us to talk about the Blues and Pop Culture. Growing up during the Great Depression, Jim spent his after school days listening to the Blues. He is no stranger to the Civil Rights Movement and was a part of the Central Valley strikes led by Itliong and Chavez in the 1960s. His radio show Vintage Wine covers urban blues, jazz, and rock from the 1940s through 1970s.

#Ownvoices is a hashtag that started in 2015 to promote diverse authors and books. #Ownvoices specifically refers to books where the author and protagonist share a marginalized identity. It’s a usfeul tool to diversify your reading list, learn about new perspectives and perhaps find aspects of your own experiences in the pages of a book. Come and chat about any #ownvoices books you've read (any genre! any format!) or drop by and get some inspiration for your next read.

Check out our booklist for ideas!
