Women’s Diversity Book Group Event

From an event hosted by the Women’s Diversity Book Group, co-sponsored by Women’s Rights Information Center’s Community Outreach & Education Committee and Englewood Public Library, to celebrate Native American Heritage Month in November, Englewood, New Jersey.

Thank you to Lois Brown, a researcher on Afro-Native histories in her own right, for sharing these thoughts on the group’s discussion: “Everyone loved learning something new—about the enslavement of African Americans by American Indians (and the aftermath), and the venue of the novel was the best vehicle for them. They were happy to know that I had met you and said to tell you they enjoyed Cherokee Rose very much.”
