Kershaw will lead a discussion on the film, “The Great Debaters.”  A light meal will be served at 6:00 p.m. Denzel Washington directs and stars in this uplifting drama based on a true story about a small east Texas all-black college in 1935 that rises to the top of the nation’s debate teams in a duel against Harvard.  We won’t be viewing the film so you might want to rent it if you haven’t already seen it.

A light meal will be served at 6:00 p.m.  While we may not identify with the believers Hitchens describes, his wide-ranging knowledge, his brilliant writing and his attacks on religion will make for an interesting discussion.
