Lisa McNair is our special bookstore guest on Thursday, September 11 at 5:30pm. She travels to Montgomery to discuss her recently released book, Dear Denise, a collection of forty letters from Lisa addressed to the sister she never knew, but in whose shadow of sacrifice and lost youth she was raised. These letters offer an intimate look into the life of a family touched by one of the most heinous tragedies of the Civil Rights Movement, the 1963 bombing by Klansmen of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church. With her book McNair takes us on a stirring journey of remembering with a goal of racial healing. Needed as
much today as it ever was.
