Program Description
Event Details
Dr. Harris-Schenz, Associate Professor Emerita (German), University of Pittsburgh, author of Living While Black: My Experience with Everyday Racism, has written Mary Martin: Black Government-Girl from Hillsboro, which recounts her mother’s early life-- both ordinary and extraordinary. Born in 1924 in a southern Illinois town of 4500 residents, about 100 of whom were Black, Mary's story makes an important contribution to the oral history of Black women.
The Library is proud to welcome Dr. Harris-Schenz back for what promises to be a memorable evening. Registration is suggested but not required. Learn more about her books at the links in this description.
