Guided by its expert committee of scholars, the Center has a full calendar of public events and salons to explore. 

EVENT DETAILS

Explore a fascinating intersection of the personal and political with author Jacquelyn Dowd Hall as she discusses her book, Sisters and Rebels: A Struggle for the Soul of America, a triple biography of three sisters. Born in Georgia in the late 19th century, the Lumpkins were descended from slaveholders and steeped in a culture of white supremacy. But their lives took on wildly different trajectories when the younger two moved away and embraced progressive politics. Book signing with the author to follow the program.

Carol Berkin (moderator) is Presidential Professor of History Emerita at Baruch College and the Graduate Center, CUNY.

Jacquelyn Dowd Hall is the Julia Cherry Spruill Professor Emerita of History at UNC-Chapel Hill and past president of the Organization of American Historians, the Southern Historical Association, and the Labor and Working Class History Association.
