The discussion will also include reflections gathered from the community Wish Walls featured at several MPL branches.\n6:00–7:00 PM — ABHM Book Club DiscussionParticipate in a discussion of Annette Gordon-Reed’s groundbreaking 1997 study, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy, which examines the relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings while challenging the ways American history has traditionally been interpreted and remembered.

Copies of this title, along with Gordon-Reed’s The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family, are available through the Milwaukee Public Library.\n7:00–7:30 PM — Community Book SwapBring a book to pass along to a new reader and exchange it for a different title to take home.
