Reconciliation Through Story
Join Levine Museum on National Reconciliation Day at South Boulevard Library, for a panel discussion between four local authors on the power of stories. Those with different perspectives can read the same book to spark conversations promoting understanding and communication which are necessary steps in reconciliation. Our panelists will speak about how their books are a part of that bridge-building process.
The author panel will include Carol Baldwin, debut author of Charlotte-based young-adult novel, Half-Truths, based in Charlotte in the 1950s; Kathleen Burkinshaw, the author of The Last Cherry Blossom, which is based on her mother’s life as a 12-year-old during the last year of WWII in Hiroshima; children’s book author Dorothy H. Price, author of the Jalen’s Big City Life series; and Daddy-Daughter Day; and Meredith Ritchie, author of Poster Girls, a women’s historical fiction novel set in Charlotte in WWII.
