Good Morning everyone,

I want to share with everyone know about an upcoming book talk, Jefferson’s Daughters: Three Sisters, White and Black, in a Young America, by Catherine Kerrison here at Slover Library in Norfolk, Virginia on January 27, 2019; 4:00 – 6:00 PM.  The free event will be held in Room 650 followed by a reception with hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar.  

Dr. Kerrison is a professor of history at Villanova University, where she teaches courses in Colonial and Revolutionary America and women’s and gender history. She holds a PhD in American history from the College of William and Mary. Her new book reveals the untold story of Thomas Jefferson’s three daughters–two white and free, one black and enslaved–and the divergent paths they forged in a newly independent America.  Sunday reception and lecture.

This book talk is part of the Catherine Lee Brinkley Memorial Lecture Series at Slover Library.

Catherine “Kate” Lee Brinkley was a professional librarian at the City of Norfolk’s Kirn Memorial Library, dedicated to educating the citizens of Norfolk through the many services and programs of the Norfolk Public Library system. This lecture series, named in her honor, brings authors to Norfolk and is sponsored by Jane Batten to keep the spirit of community discourse about current events alive and to celebrate recently published books of national note. Book signings are available at and all lectures are free and open to the public.
