Elaine Weiss: SPELL FREEDOM

Join us on the patio for an evening of ever-relevant history with Elaine Weiss and her new book, Spell Freedom: The Underground Schools That Built the Civil Rights Movement! You might know Elaine Weiss from her acclaimed previous book The Woman's Hour-- and she returns now with the story of four activists whose audacious plan to restore voting rights to Black Americans laid the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement.

In the vein of Hidden Figures and Devil in the Grove, Spell Freedom is both a riveting, crucially important lens onto our past, and a deeply moving story for our present.
