Local Author Book Talk: Betty Livingston Adams
Saturday, March 25 at 2 pm
ALD Room (lower level)
In celebration of Women's History Month, we welcome local author Betty Livingston Adams for a book talk about her recent release, "Black Women's Christian Activism: Seeking Social Justice in a Northern Suburb." In her book, Adams examines the often overlooked role of non-elite black women in the growth of northern suburbs and American Protestantism in the first half of the twentieth century. She shows how religion made a key difference in the lives and activism of ordinary black women who lived, worked, and worshiped on the margin during this tumultuous time.
