For the July meeting of the Well-Read Black Girl at DC Public Library Book Club, PEN/Bellwether Prize-winning author Jamila Minnicks joins Glory for an enlightening discussion about her novel Moonrise Over New Jessup.
The title opens in 1957 and follows Alice Young as she moves to the all-Black town of New Jessup, Alabama, where residents have largely rejected integration as the means for Black social advancement. Instead, they seek to maintain, and fortify, the community they cherish on their “side of the woods.” In this place, Alice falls in love with Raymond Campbell, whose clandestine organizing activities challenge New Jessup’s longstanding status quo and could lead to the young couple’s expulsion—or worse—from the home they both hold dear. But as Raymond continues to push alternatives for enhancing New Jessup’s political power, Alice must find a way to balance her undying support for his underground work with her desire to protect New Jessup from the rising pressure of upheaval from inside, and outside, their side of town.
