You are personally invited to join us in discussing Toni Morrison’s book The Bluest Eye at the Reading as Activism Bookclub. Here is a brief description of the book from Goodreads. “The Bluest Eye is Toni Morrison’s first novel, a book heralded for its richness of language and boldness of vision. Set in the author’s girlhood hometown of Lorain, Ohio, it tells the story of black, eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove. Pecola prays for her eyes to turn blue so that she will be as beautiful and beloved as all the blond, blue-eyed children in America. In the autumn of 1941, the year the marigolds in the Breedloves’ garden do not bloom. Pecola’s life does change- in painful, devastating ways.
What its vivid evocation of the fear and loneliness at the heart of a child’s yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment. The Bluest Eye remains one of Toni Morrisons’s most powerful, unforgettable novels- and a significant work of American fiction.”
We would love for you to join us on Saturday, January 30, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. via Zoom. We will have discussion questions. However, please feel free to come with a few questions and discussion points as well.
Please invite anyone you think would be interested to this event.
The mission of “Reading As Activism” is to bring together a community of bright thinkers and doers to discuss themes, ideas, and plot in books that lead to action inspired by the books we read, our analysis of the books and our interactions with each other.

“Back Together Again” – A Party with a Purpose

This year’s jazz showcase artists, David P. Stevens, Lin Rountree, Marqueal Jordanand headliner, Ronnie Laws.


Jazz at the Creek is back and bringing a dose of entertainment and legendary artists with musical classics from the genres of jazz, funk and R&B to the stage. After a season marked by social distancing and social unrest, a return to normalcy is welcomed. But in the aftermath of one of the most heralding times in modern history, we’re making it a point to acknowledge the selfless dedication of our “first responders” on the front line from nurses, doctors, delivery and food service workers, educators, law enforcement, nonprofit agencies, health and human service agencies.

What began as a concert with a purpose remains and at the heart of this fantastic jazz experience is a purpose. Jazz with a PURPOSE. That is the theme and goal of this event. Please take a moment to click on the sidebar and further inform yourself about the cause that we are supporting and what this concert series is really all about – giving back to the community. So come out, bring a friend or two, relax and enjoy knowing that you are a part of something that is truly wonderful and fulfilling.

Outside food and beverages, and animals are not allowed inside the venue. You may bring your lawn chair for General Admission seating. Parking is available at the Jacobs Center at 404 Euclid Ave, San Diego, CA 92114 (when parking behind the Jacobs Center, walk across the red walk-bridge to the Amphitheater).
