Everyone:

I will be doing a reading & signing of my book, Notes And Documents of Free
Persons of Color, in August.  If anyone is intereted in attending, it will
be at the Central Rappahannock Library in Fredericksburg. This is my first
Reading & Signing in Virginia, which is curious, since most of the events I
write about take place in Colonial Virginia.

WHEN:
On August 11, 2005

Where:
Central Rappahannock Library
1201 Caroline Street
Fredericksburg Virginia

Time:
5:00-8:00 pm

Contact:
Historic Fredericksburg Foundation
540-371-4504/or email Anita with questions

We will have a reception beginning at 5:00 pm, and the
reading will start at 6:00 pm, followed by a
discussion and book signing.

There is also an exhibit in Richmond, titled African
Americans at Rocketts Landing. The Exhibit is in the Lobby of the Patrick
Henry
Building, at The Capital Rotunda. I do not know the details of how to see
the
Exhibit, but the curator is Melba Myers, of the Virginia Historical
Resources
Office. The exhibit features,
Charles Lewis, one of my ancestors who served in the
Revolutionary War. After his war service, Charles Lewis was a prominent
businessman in Richmond, and owned property at Rocketts Landing.

Please feel free to contact me privately with any questions.
