Dr. Conseula Francis Reading Circle Discussion of "There Is Confusion" by Jessie R. Fauset

Dr. Conseula Francis Reading Circle Discussion of "There Is Confusion" by Jessie R. Fauset Online

Welcome to 2026 with the Dr. Conseula Francis Reading Circle celebrating our 10th year of book discussions!!!  

We are also paying tribute to our co-founder, "The Ms. Ruth Rambo." In her memory we are discussing, Jessie Redmond Fauset's classic, There Is Confusion...

"A rediscovered classic about how racism and sexism tests the spirit, ambition, and character of three children growing up in Hell’s Kitchen and Harlem, from Jessie Redmond Fauset, the literary editor of The Crisis, the official magazine of the NAACP.

First published to immense critical acclaim in 1924, written with an Austen-like eye for social dynamics, There Is Confusion is an unjustly forgotten classic that celebrates Black ambition, love, and the struggle for equality."
