Meet the Author

Folks had an opportunity to meet Tiya Miles, Saturday, Jan. 27, at the Detroit Public Library Main Branch, where Miles discussed the book and joined a panel moderated by local historian and author Kimberly Simmons. Simmons is the executive director of the Detroit River Project, which aims to educate people about the river’s history and is lobbying for recognition for the river as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
