The funny and poignant memoir of Bay Area broadcast personality Brian Copeland about growing up in the 1970s as one of the first African-American families in San Leandro has been selected as the book for Silicon Valley Reads 2009.
"Not a Genuine Black Man: My Life as an Outsider" will be the subject of numerous programs throughout Santa Clara County in February 2009, when readers throughout Silicon Valley are asked to read the same book, at the same time, and discuss it.
This will be the seventh year of Silicon Valley Reads, which is co-sponsored by the Santa Clara County Office of Education, Santa Clara County Library, and the San Jose Public Library Foundation. The goals of the program are to promote reading and literacy while building a sense of community through dialogue among widely diverse readers.
