Join us as we virtually welcome best-selling author Marie Benedict & Victoria Christopher Murray to discuss the release of their new historical fiction, The Personal Librarian. This novel tells the remarkable story of J. P. Morgan’s personal librarian, Belle da Costa Greene, the Black American woman who was forced to hide her true identity and pass as white to leave a lasting legacy that enriched our nation.

The Personal Librarian portrays the story of an extraordinary woman, famous for her intellect, style, and wit, and shares the lengths to which she must go—for the protection of her family and her legacy—to preserve her carefully crafted white identity in the racist world in which she lives.

The event is free and open to the public. To RSVP, please visit this link or call 843-723-9912.
