SUMMARY:LitCafe: Mary Burnette presents Lige of the Black Walnut Tree
DESCRIPTION:LitCafe: Mary Othella Burnette presents Lige of the Black Walnut Tree\nFor the fourth installment of this year’s LitCafe series\, we are very excited to bring you author and local native Mary Othella Burnette who will present her recently published memoir Lige of the Black Walnut Tree: Growing Up Black in Southern Appalachia. This virtual event begins at 6pm Tuesday\, May 11. Mary’s presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. We hope to see you there! \nAbout the Author:\nAuthor Mary Burnette \nHer memoir\, Lige of the Black Walnut Tree: Growing Up Black in Southern Appalachia\, depicts life in a close-knit community settled by former slaves. Her vibrant stories bring to life the unimaginable world of her rustic youth and open a new window into an area of Black History little known to the outside world and rarely described by a native Black mountaineer. Ms. Burnette grew up among her very real characters\, ate at their tables\, slept in their homes\, and was determined to preserve her memory of Lige\, one of her father’s favorite cousins who had passed away long before she was born. \n  \n  \nRegistration:\nYou must pre-register and purchase a ticket for this event. A Zoom link will be sent for participants to join. Admission is free for WNCHA members or Pack Library cardholders. Donations are accepted.
