Book Launch: Southwest Virginia Civil Rights Leader: Nannie Berger Hairston In-Person
Join us to celebrate a book launch!
This compelling work highlights the life and legacy of Nannie Berger Hairston, who became a pioneer of social justice and civil rights when she and her family moved to Christiansburg, in 1953 and who by the time of her death in 2017 had become a powerful leader and icon.
The event will feature a discussion with oral historian and author Sheree Scarborough who used Nannie Hairston's own words to tell her story. Scarborough will share insights into Hairston's remarkable contributions while touching on the history of civil rights in the region. Don't miss this celebration of local history and activism!
