My mom Marian Robinson was my rock, always there for whatever I needed. She was the same steady backstop for our entire family, and we are heartbroken to share she passed away today. We wanted to offer some reflections on her remarkable life: https://t.co/F7T6q625PC

Join the Lawrence Public Library for a presentation by Dr. Maryemma Graham on the life of Alice Walker. This event will take place on March 7th at the Lawrence Public Library Auditorium from 6:00 to 7:30 pm.

[The Lawrence Times @LawrenceKSTimes]

Certainly Black writers have always contributed to American literature, Maryemma Graham recalls thinking during her college class one day in 1972. That day, a seed was planted that would become the History of Black Writing.
