A Gathering of Old Men
A Gathering of Old Men | Ernest J. Gaines
6 posts | 13 read | 9 to read
Set on a Louisiana sugarcane plantation in the 1970s, A GATHERING OF OLD MEN is a powerful depiction of racial tensions arising over the death of a Cajun farmer at the hands of a black man. When a sheriff is summoned to a sugarcane plantation, he finds one white woman, about eighteen old black men and one dead Cajun farmer. Despite threats and physical persuasion, each man claims guilt and promises to provoke a riot at the courthouse if the sheriff tries to make an arrest. While they wait for the lynch mob, everyone involved is surprised by something, and the old black men have their first taste about power and pride.

dabbe I don't know how old your gorgeous pups are, but the way they're looking with their eyes in this pic fits the title of this book. Adorable! ❣️🐾❣️ 13mo

dabbe @BkClubCare They are beautiful. ❣️ I hope I didn't insult you; I was focused on their eyes and how they looked like they were in “cahoots“, so to speak. If I did, I am truly sorry. 😔 13mo
BkClubCare @dabbe - absolutely not, I took zero offense! All good 💓 Your comment reminded me of an interesting comment from one of the doggie daycare providers, “Copper looks like a Civil War General” - I am still trying to figure that out 🤣 old souls, expressive eyes, Griffs are special, all dogs are special 🤩 13mo
dabbe @BkClubCare They are amazing. So adorably cute, yet so dignified and regal at the same time. Love their names, too! 🥰 13mo

A portrayal of courage, friendship and determination in the face of racism and lawlessness. Just a genuinely good story with great characters.

#DiversityFriday. This is an older cover and because of recent events I blurred a few things. But every one can probably guess what they are. I am not trying to be PC, but some things are triggers for others. I know, for I am a survivour of gun violence.
