Join us for an online conversation with Pulitzer Prize finalist, Lee Hawkins.
He will discuss his examination of his family’s legacy of post-enslavement trauma and resilience in this riveting new memoir, I Am Nobody's Slave: How Uncovering My Family’s History Set Me Free. Hawkins explores the role of racism-triggered childhood trauma and chronic stress in shortening his ancestors' lives, using genetic testing, reporting, and historical data to craft a moving family portrait. This book shows how genealogical research can educate and heal Americans of all races, revealing through their story the story of America—a journey of struggle, resilience, and the heavy cost of ultimate success.
