The lecture will be followed by four additional virtual events featuring Woodford on Thursdays, March 11 and 25, and April 8 and 15 from 1-2 p.m. Those free-to-the-public sessions, held under the theme “When All God’s Children Get Together: Fostering Racial Justice Book Club with Ann Woodford,” will address several topics covered in the author’s new book.
Participants, who can register at https://aarp.cvent.com/AnnWoodfordBookClub, will discuss subjects listed below with facilitators and Woodford:
March 11–General Overview. How African American people in this region compare to nationwide: race relations and racial disparities.
March 25–History of Ethnic Cleansing in Georgia and how it led to African American people coming to Western North Carolina (includes other national cleansings, the Green Book and a coup in Wilmington, N.C.)
April 8–What is White Privilege and how it can make a difference; Using your power to make a difference.
April 15–Steps that can be taken to smooth race relations locally and beyond.
As a child in a segregated, one-room, one-teacher “colored/negro” elementary school in the small mountain town of Andrews, N..C. Woodward’s talents as an artist were discovered by one of her teachers. Soon, she was using oils, pencil, charcoal and ink as she drew remarkable scenes of people, animals and landscapes, which has led to a long career as an artist. Eventually, her creativity knew no boundaries, as she has excelled as a writer, designer, entrepreneur and speaker. Learn more about Woodford at her website, https://anntree.com.
Event participants can find her book at the library, various local and national online sellers or on her website. While the book is recommended, it is not required to participate.
