Isabel Wilkerson - The Warmth Of Other Suns

Between 1915 and 1970, some six million black Americans left the South and headed north and west. To make sense of this massive migration, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Wilkerson focuses on three individuals: a Mississippi sharecropper turned Chicago entrepreneur, a civil rights activist who relocated from Florida to Harlem, and a Louisiana doctor who became Ray Charles’s personal physician.

This event is co-sponsored by Fall for the Book, a literary festival organized by George Mason University and the city of Fairfax, VA.More information at www.fallforthebook.org
