MMM Book Club: Exploring Sky Full of Elephants by Cebo Campbell
“ A new book, a new conversation! The MMM Book Club is back, and this time we’re diving into Sky Full of Elephants by Cebo Campbell! This thought-provoking novel explores race, identity, freedom, and the complexities of imagining a world radically different from the one we know. Join us as we unpack the story, challenge perspectives, and explore the questions it raises about society, belonging, and what it means to be free. Come ready with your thoughts, questions, and reflections. Whether you loved the book, disagreed with its ideas, or are still making sense of it all, we want to hear from you!
Thursday, November 19th
6:00 PM
Location TBA
Good books, good discussion, good company.

MMM Book Club
Marcus Meets Malcolm invites you to our next community Book Club gathering featuring Kin, the highly anticipated novel by bestselling author Tayari Jones.
There is something special about gathering with neighbors to explore a good book. Together, we will reflect on the novel’s themes, share our personal perspectives, ask thoughtful questions, and enjoy a meaningful conversation in the heart of Harlem. Whether you are an avid reader, joining a book club for the first time, or simply interested in connecting with others, you are warmly welcomed.
Read the book in advance and come prepared to share—or join us to listen, learn, and enjoy the discussion. All viewpoints are valued, and everyone is encouraged to participate.
Weaving Dialogues: Vessels of Memory
Every memory has a thread. What story will you weave?
Join us on 120th Street in Harlem for Weaving Dialogue: Vessels of Memory, in collaboration with Marcus Meets Malcolm (@120thmmm).

No weaving experience needed—all materials are provided!
Want to add a personal touch? You’re welcome to bring a cotton T-shirt or shirt, linen fabric, or a meaningful garment that belonged to a loved one. Choose something you’re comfortable cutting and weaving into your vessel, giving its story a new form.
