COMMON READ: Discovering African American Pioneer History in St. Lawrence County
Explore the remarkable contributions of African Americans to St. Lawrence County through Bryan S. Thompson’s inspiring book, African Americans of St. Lawrence County: North Country Pioneers. This compelling work brings to light the resilience, determination, and pioneering spirit of African Americans who helped shape the region’s identity.
To celebrate and honor these stories, everyone is invited to a book discussion on Sunday, February 9, at 12:00 noon, in the Romer Room. This event will create a space to learn about the rich and often overlooked history of African Americans in the North Country, fostering dialogue about their impact and legacy.
This discussion is open to all, whether or not you have read the book, and provides an opportunity to connect with the stories of trailblazers whose courage and contributions paved the way for generations to come. Light refreshments will be served.
