Join us Wed May 3rd at 5:30 for Cactus Book Club. This month the Milwaukee Newspaper Guild will lead the conversation on News for All the People: the Epic Story of Race and the American Media by Juan González and Joseph Torres. Discussion will focus on chapters 3, 8-10, 12, 16-17. This acclaimed text “reveals how racial segregation distorted the information Americans have received, even as it depicts the struggle of Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American journalists who fought to create a vibrant yet little-known alternative, democratic press”.

Since 1984, they’ve worked to protect jobs and public service journalism in the face of corporate cuts and industry turmoil. The guild fights for a sustainable workplace that supports diversity, living wages, benefits and journalistic integrity so the Journal Sentinel can serve the people of Milwaukee and Wisconsin now and into the future.

Cactus Book Club meets on the first Wednesday of the month from 5:30-7:30 in the back room at Cactus Club. Each month a different business, community organization, collective, or artists chooses the book and leads the discussion. We read fiction and non-fiction, with a focus on works by women, LGBTQ+, POC, and/or otherwise under-published groups. You don’t have to finish reading the book to attend. All book club meetings are free. No registration required. Masks are optional but encouraged. 18+.
