Dr. Conseula Francis Reading Circle Discussion of "Another Sojourner Looking for Truth," with author Millicent E. Brown In-Person / Online
Join us for a special Reading Circle featuring scholar and Civil Rights activist, Millicent E. Brown as we discuss her memoir, Another Sojourner Looking for Truth: My Journey from Civil Rights to Black Power and Beyond.
"Millicent E. Brown's family home at 270 Ashley Avenue in Charleston, South Carolina, was a center of civil rights activity. There Brown gained intimate knowledge of the struggle for racial justice, and those experiences set her on a life course dedicated to the civil rights struggle. Best known as the named plaintiff in the federal court case that, in 1963, forced the initial desegregation of public schools in South Carolina, her experiences as an activist range across years and well beyond her native state. Another Sojourner Looking for Truth is Brown's insightful reflection on her search for freedom in a nation deeply mired in white supremacist beliefs and overt violence against people of color...Overall, Brown's words will inform, inspire, and challenge everyone to better understand the Black Freedom Struggle and confront its ongoing challenges."
