Dr. Conseula Francis Reading Circle Discussion of "The Unexpected Diva" Online

Join us for our last Reading Circle discussion for 2025! Our fascinating read is The Unexpected Diva by Tiffany L. Warren.

"How do we not all know the name of Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield? The story of this brilliant singer -- a Black woman born enslaved who performed both sides of the Atlantic in the years before and during the Civil War -- is finally given its just due."   --Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The First Ladies

“Before the Civil War, Black opera singer Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield reigned supreme on Northern stages—even performing at Buckingham Palace. Novelist Tiffany L Warren brings this remarkable but forgotten diva’s remarkable story to life for modern readers.”
