The Valpo Core

Ronne Hartfield–renowned scholar, essayist and poet–will read from her family memoir, Another Way Home: The Tangled Roots of Race in One Chicago Family and will discuss the importance of combating and counteracting skewed histories of race relations with “first-voice” narratives and supportive, intimate families and communities.  She’ll also bookend her talk with some of her own poetry that touches on these or similar themes.  The lecture will be followed by a Q and A.

Thursday, March 27th
7-8 p.m.
Neils Science Center, room 234

Hartfield has encouraged people to read a brief excerpt from her book.  Please email  Allison.Schuette-Hoffman@valpo.edu for a copy or for further information.
