Together with the Jack Ridl Visiting Writers Series, we’re thrilled to have Dr Erica Dunbar Armstrong, author of Never Caught: The Story of Ona Judge, participate in our Big Read program. As we reflect on the questions of “Whose histories have been told? Whose have been silenced?” We invite our Lakeshore readers to read and learn from Armstrong’s recent book. Join us in this live zoom event as Erica Dunbar Armstrong responds to our questions and comments about her writing and work on the uncomfortable concepts of slavery, racial injustice and gender equality and the ways she is able to marvel at the incredible triumph of survival and the beautiful history of resistance.

This event is sponsored by the Jack Ridl Visiting Writing Series.
