Reading to commemorate 50th anniversary of Voting Rights March
Brooklyn BookBeat
Author, visual artist and storyteller Willie Mae Brown will read “My Selma” and “A Defiant Leader” on Feb. 15 at the Tabla Rasa Gallery in Sunset Park.
The reading is intended to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, and “Bloody Sunday.”
Both of Brown’s reading pieces are excerpts from her memoirs, which are slated to be published this year.
