Event Description
Discover Coleman Hill, an exhilarating tale of two American families whose lives converge during the Great Migration.
Written by local author Kim Coleman Foote, this character-rich novel blends fact and fiction to explore the deep ties connecting three generations.
Inspired by the author's family history from Alabama and Florida to Vauxhall, NJ, Coleman Hill sheds light on the often-overlooked narratives of Black migrants in Northern suburbs.
Join an engaging discussion and hear from the author herself as she shares insights into her work and inspiration.
