Common Reading 25th Anniversary: A Celebration of Voices from Junaluska
September 20 | 7:00 pm
This event is co-sponsored by The Schaefer Center Presents series
According to McFarland, the book’s publisher, Junaluska is “one of the oldest African American communities in western North Carolina and one of the few surviving today.” This year’s Common Reading selection is not only a history of the “village within a village” but also a vibrant example of participatory research. It is a record of and testament to family and faith; heritage and community; and persistence and resilience.
Join us as we celebrate the history, music and community of Junaluska. Special musical guests: Junaluska Gospel Choir.
FREE and open to the public
