Athens-Clarke County Library

Athens, GA

NEA Big Read

FY2024

About

“Where we live” in Athens, Georgia is fluid, changing with each new resident. Every community member’s origins inform where we, as a city, are going. Our focus is on “The People,” our ancestors and lineage and the places we all call “home.” Through shared reading of Gyasi’s novel, Homegoing, we explore our city’s African American history and culture, connecting to present-day diversity.
