A Book Worth Reading. A Conversation Worth Having.

“What a joy to discover a young genius blooming in our hills here in West Virginia, celebrating who he is and where he comes from. Read this. It will make you proud.” – Nikki Giovanni, Celebrated Literary Icon

Join Us for the Moton Book Club

This March, the Robert Russa Moton Museum invites you to participate in a special book club experience as we explore Requiem for a Redbird by Torli Bush—a work that is unapologetically both Appalachian and Black and challenges stereotypes, speaks truth to power, and invites us into an open conversation about faith, politics, identity, and hope.

Book Club Meeting Schedule

• Dates: March 4, March 11, and March 18
• Time: 6:30 PM
• Location: Robert Russa Moton Museum

This book club is free, open to all readers, and local book clubs are encouraged to join us.

Book Talk & Author Event | March 26

To complete this experience, Torli Bush will be joining us at Moton for a special event. Experience Requiem for a Redbird beyond the pages as Bush performs selections from his poetry, shares insights into his writing, and reflects on the journey that shaped this powerful work. The event will include:

• A live reading from Requiem for a Redbird
• A Q&A session with the author
• A book-signing
• A closing reception

Win a Signed Copy

Attendees will also have the chance to win a signed copy of the book through a special raffle.
