Join us for a chat with Laura Helton about Black authors and their impact in the 20th century!
About this Event

Join us for a sit-down chat with the incredible Dr. Laura Helton.

Helton is the author of Scattered and Fugitive Things: How Black Collectors Created Archives and Remade History (Columbia University Press, 2024). The book explores the emergence of African American archives and libraries to show how historical recuperation shaped forms of racial imagination in the early 20th century.

If you love books, this is an event you won't want to miss. Get ready for engaging conversations and the chance to connect with fellow bibliophiles at the Africana Arts + Humanities Festival. See you there!
