Join us from noon to 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 7, 2018, for this month's author talk and book signing: Uncompromising Activist: Richard Greener, First Black Graduate of Harvard College by Dr. Katherine Chaddock. Richard Greener’s story demonstrates the human realities of racial politics in the fight for abolition, the struggle for equal rights, and subsequent backslide into legal segregation. This is the biography of a man who exemplified America’s discomfiting perspectives on race and skin color.
