The Legacy of 1808: Slavery and the Literary Imagination
Wednesday, July 16
National Constitution Center
FREE!
Here is some info on the event
Two accomplished writers will join us for a public conversation examining slavery through fiction and scholarship. Fiction and non-fiction writers have different constraints on what stories they tell, but storytelling techniques they sometimes share are powerful tools for stimulating the historical imagination. Slavery and the Literary Imagination features Lorene Cary, educator, social activist and author of The Price of a Child, and Beverly Lowry, director of the Creative Nonfiction Program at George Mason University and author of Harriet Tubman: Imagining a Life.
