OUR FIRST IN PERSON AUTHOR VISIT!!!
Come join us as the author Eileen Harrison Sanchez will be discussing her timely debut novel "FREEDOM LESSONS" about school desegregation in the 1960s American South.
The author draws on her own remarkable experience as a young, white teacher in the Jim Crow South during desegregation, to write her immersive work of fiction inspired by those events.
The result is an unusually authentic exploration of a snapshot in history through the eyes of characters that are relatable and unmistakably human—living lives and navigating relationships against the backdrop of extreme societal upheaval. According to Kirkus Reviews - "An intermittently potent illustration of the formidable obstacles to equality that remained―and persist―post-Brown v. Board of Education.”
