Program recommendation: Bailey Sisoy-Moore, Author Rosie: A Detroit Herstory
by David Stokes 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Hello there, Last night we hosted Bailey Sisoy-Moore, author of *Rosie: A Detroit Herstory** & *owner of Detroit History Tours, for a presentation on Rosie the Riveter. If you’ve not had Bailey out to your library I *highly* recommend her. Her presentation was entertaining, engaging and, dare I say, riveting. The Detroit History Tours also offers several other Detroit/Michigan-related presentations, and we’ll most likely have her back in the future. David M.
