How did African Americans pursue happiness and joy in what can be considered unfavorable circumstances, while living in a larger culture that too often disregarded their dreams and personhood?
Join North Adams storyteller & scholar Desiree Taylor, and celebrate through story the pursuit of happiness that African Americans have taken on in an often hostile wider culture. This presentation explores the resources and hopes that people from all backgrounds and walks of life can glean inspiration from.
In our beautiful front parlor. All are welcome.
Any questions, please call Reference Librarian Lisa Harding at (413) 662-3133, ext. 13, or email [email protected].
