For more about “Witness to Change” read its description below:
Sybil’s memoir reveals a woman whose intelligence overrides the clichés of racial division. In its pages, we catch rare glimpses of black professionals in an earlier New Orleans, when races, though socially isolated, lived side by side; when social connections helped circumvent Jim Crow; when African-American culture forged New Orleans–and American–identity.
Light refreshments will be served. To RSVP, contact Carolyn Shelton at (504)813-1648.
The event is sponsored by Poseidon Restaurant, Crescent City Pharmacy, and Michelle Carrie.
