On Wednesday, October 13, at 7:00 pm EDT, the Clarke Historical Library at Central Michigan University will host the first of four presentations as part of the Clarke's Virtual Fall Speakers Series (you can find the entire line-up on the Clarke's website<https://www.cmich.edu/library/clarke/publicprograms/current_exhibit/pages/default.aspx#speakers>). Rachel Marie-Crane Williams will speak about her latest graphic novel, Run Home if You Don't Want to Be Killed. In the context of WWII and the emerging civil rights movement, Detroit was the scene of deadly civil unrest in the summer of 1943. Professor Williams' book tells the story of this painful time in Michigan's history. She will join the Clarke to share her research and artistry in developing this book. This presentation is free and open to the public. The event will be broadcast via Central Michigan University's videoconferencing tool, Webex, and it will be recorded to enjoy at a later time. Registration is required for the event and the shortened link to register is: https://is.gd/ClarkeWilliams. Please share this information with anyone who you think might be interested.
