Meet the Author of Junebug at the Shoreline Library

Calendar/Event Details

For adults and teens.

Welcome former Shoreline resident Wilson Edward Reed, PhD, author of Junebug!

In Junebug, a novel inspired by the author's own life, a young boy faces discrimination and hardship while growing up in Mississippi in the 1950s and 1960s. Despite the hard times he experiences, he learns valuable lessons about the importance of community and forgiveness.

Attendees will leave the event with an appreciation of Junebug’s story and how it fits with the history of civil rights and with other readings about intolerance and hatred.

Registration not required.
