Library Presentation: Margaret Garner and James Bradley

Well, the day is finally here.

In staying with the theme of it being African American History Month, I will give a presentation about two African Americans who were instrumental in the Abolition movement in their respective times.

Most of you may not have heard of James Bradley, but can read more about him here.

Margaret Garner, on the other hand, so be a bit more recognizable. Her story spawned a Nobel Prize winning novel, a film starring Oprah Winfrey and a commissioned opera.

I will let you know how it goes.....wish me luck!
