Summer Literary Picnic with Wil Haygood

Join us on the Thurber House lawn for a literary picnic with Wil Haygood - the acclaimed award-winning author of The Butler and Showdown, as he discusses his new book and the history of Black cinema. Colorization examines 100 years of Black movies—from Gone with the Wind to Blaxploitation films to Black Panther—using the struggles and triumphs of the artists, and the films themselves, as a prism to explore Black culture, civil rights, and racism in America.
