SUMMARY:The BAR Virtual Meeting - 12/18/25
DESCRIPTION:Published during a literary era marked by the ascendance of black writers such as Richard Wright\, Ralph Ellison\, James Baldwin\, and Alex Haley\, this thinly fictionalized account of Claude Brown’s childhood as a hardened\, streetwise criminal trying to survive the toughest streets of Harlem has been heralded as the definitive account of everyday life for the first generation of African Americans raised in the Northern ghettos of the 1940s and 1950s. \nWhen the book was first published in 1965\, it was praised for its realistic portrayal of Harlem—the children\, young people\, hardworking parents; the hustlers\, drug dealers\, prostitutes\, and numbers runners; the police; the violence\, sex\, and humor. \nThe book continues to resonate generations later\, not only because of its fierce and dignified anger\, not only because the struggles of urban youth are as deeply felt today as they were in Brown’s time\, but also because of its inspiring message. Now with an introduction by Nathan McCall\, here is the story about the one who “made it\,” the boy who kept landing on his feet and grew up to become a man. \nWith millions of copies in print\, Manchild in the Promised Land is one of the most remarkable autobiographies of our time—the definitive account of African-American youth in Harlem of the 1940s and 1950s\, and a seminal work of modern literature.

SUMMARY:The BAR Virtual Meeting - 8/21/25
DESCRIPTION:THE NEW YORK TIMES\, USA TODAY\, AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER \n\n\n\n“Kai-Fu Lee believes China will be the next tech-innovation superpower and in AI Superpowers: China\, Silicon Valley\, and the New World Order\, he explains why. Taiwan-born Lee is perfectly positioned for the task.”—New York Magazine \n\n\n\nIn this thought-provoking book\, Lee argues powerfully that because of the unprecedented developments in AI\, dramatic changes will be happening much sooner than many of us expected. Indeed\, as the US-Sino AI competition begins to heat up\, Lee urges the US and China to both accept and to embrace the great responsibilities that come with significant technological power. \n\n\n\nMost experts already say that AI will have a devastating impact on blue-collar jobs. But Lee predicts that Chinese and American AI will have a strong impact on white-collar jobs as well. Is universal basic income the solution? In Lee’s opinion\, probably not. But he provides a clear description of which jobs will be affected and how soon\, which jobs can be enhanced with AI\, and most importantly\, how we can provide solutions to some of the most profound changes in the future of human history.

SUMMARY:The BAR Member Meeting
DESCRIPTION:A searing\, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son’s fight to survive. A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones\, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast\, although they don’t know what\, if anything\, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road\, the clothes they are wearing\, a cart of scavenged food–and each other. \nNATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains\, but in which the father and his son\, “each the other’s world entire\,” are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision\, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness\, desperate tenacity\, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.
