Join us for an author talk with Michael Almond about his new work The Tannery. The Tannery transports readers to the turbulent world of the post-Reconstruction South. Reflecting on issues prominent in today's headlines, themes of Black voter suppression and intimidation, the violence and depravity of vigilante "justice," and the rise of Jim Crow drive the narrative to its dramatic and surprising conclusion.

Presented by A Likely Story Bookstore, Carroll Citizens for Racial Equality, and Carroll County Public Library. 

Description
