Join us for an afternoon of storytelling, featuring 8 Queens writers from Lewis Latimer House's Memoir Workshop on Race and Immigration!
About this Event

Queens is known as the most diverse county in the United States. As our country grapples with issues of race and immigration, the stories from our borough have an important role to play.

This spring, a group of 8 writers from Queens honed their narratives and developed their voices at the Lewis Latimer House's Memoir Workshop on Race and Immigration. We will celebrate the conclusion of the workshop with readings by the participants. Join us for an afternoon of memoir, and hear the incredible stories they have to tell!

The event will be facilitated by the workshop instructor Abeer Hoque and will feature readings by: Tara Asgar, Alejandra Bachman, Julie Chang, María José Correa, Xiaolin Lei, Camille Luong, Amanda Sabater, and Alexandria Ulysse!

-

The Writing on Race & Immigration Series is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
