(A) Community Reentry Book Discussion: Better Not Bitter by Dr. Yusef Salaam

Please join the Library and the Camden County Reentry Committee to discuss books by and about people who have been justice-involved.

This time we are discussing Better Not Bitter: Living on Purpose in the Pursuit of Racial Justice, a memoir and call to action by Dr. Yusef Salaam. Dr. Salaam is the first of the Central Park Five (now the Exonerated Five) to tell his individual story in his own words. Through his narrative, he inspires readers to channel their fury into action and to turn their anger and trauma into a constructive force that lives alongside accountability and mobilizes change.
