This event is FREE and open to the public. All attendees will receive a copy of the book, "Mentoring in Muncie: A Facing Project."

The Facing Project - 

www.facingproject.com/ 

The Facing Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that connects people through stories to strengthen communities. Founded in Muncie, Indiana, by J.R. Jamison and Kelsey Timmerman, the organization has connected writers, storytellers, artists, educators, and community leaders in over 100 communities across the country. Hailed by The Huffington Post, Harlem World Magazine, and Soul Train as one of three oral history projects to watch, The Facing Project provides a model, tools, coaching, and a platform for communities to arm themselves with stories to begin crucial conversations on social justice issues—neighbor to neighbor, community to community—by discussing solutions and exploring healing through their own narratives. 

Join the National Model Aviation Museum as we celebrate Black History Month and kick off our new, free book club on Thursday, February 23 from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Enjoy light refreshments as we discuss the book and the film, Hidden Figures, and celebrate the achievements of these brilliant women who made history!

"Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race" is written by Margot Lee Shetterly.
