Arabia Reads: History Walk & Talk With Bennett Parten
Jun 18 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
FREELocation: Black Dot Cultural Center
Arabia Reads is thrilled to bring historian Bennett Parten to Black Dot Cultural Center in Lithonia to sign and read from his new book Somewhere Toward Freedom. As part of our Juneteenth week of programming, Parten will read from the book and also lead a one-hour Walk & Talk around Lithonia. Together, we’ll walk in the steps of Sherman’s March to the Sea as it passed through the historic downtown and learn how this became a Juneteenth-like emancipation for many Black Georgians.
Copies of Somewhere Toward Freedom will be available for purchase at the event. Register here or at the link below.
