Book Discussion 2026
Occramer Marycoo: from enslaved African to an important Black leader in early America
In recent years Rev. Erica has challenged herself every February to get out of her personal comfort zone and read something that brings a new perspective and/or maybe makes her uncomfortable. She has sought to expand her own education about black history, recognizing that many voices and sources were left out of her education growing up. She believes this kind of work is best done in community, so she is inviting you to read along with her and engage in reflection and discussion – and see where it takes us!
This year she will be reading Newport Gardner’s Anthem: A Story of Slavery, Struggle, and Survival in Early America by Edward E Andrews, 2025 Cornell University Press.
The author relies heavily on the newly digitized historical collections available through the Congregational Library and Archives in Boston – so it offers insight into our congregational tradition and history as well.
If you would like to join Rev. Erica and others for discussion, please let Rev. Erica know you are reading also, and she will reach out to the group to figure out a mutually convenient time to meet to discuss the book.
You can find a copy of the book wherever books are sold.
You can hear an interview with the author here:
