- 6:00pm - 7:30pm
An invigorating virtual discussion with author Michelle Coles on her debut release, Black Was the Ink. Black Was the Ink is a story about a present-day teen who learns a very important lesson about the era of Reconstruction and applies it to his contemporary life. During this conversation, Ms. Coles will dialogue with educator Sarah Elwell on representation in student-age literature and why the history of Reconstruction is important in our understanding of the present.
