Events

Join us for a very special evening of stories from those who lived before and during the Civil Rights Era. A juvenile court judge. A nurse. Career workers from some of America's largest companies. A minister, a professional genealogist, a pioneering teacher - these are a few of the writers penning their memories of growing up in the segregated South in the 1940's, 50's, and 60's.  Often with humor, they tell wrenching and compelling stories of discrimination and deprivation, and also stories of stoic survival, triumph, and just pushing through.  Join us as they read and tell their own stories, first person, real. As a part of our celebration of Black History Month, this promises to be a remarkable event.
