(added from Random House)… (more) An Afternoon with Isabel Wilkerson An Afternoon with Isabel Wilkerson Presented in partnership with the Houston Museum of African American Culture (HMAAC), join us as Houston Public Library hosts the annual HMAAC Spring Literary Lecture, featuring Pulitzer Prize winning author Isabel Wilkerson discusses The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration. About the Book: In the tradition of works by Taylor Branch and J. Anthony Lukas, The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson chronicles a watershed event in American history: the decades-long migration of African Americans from the South to the North and West, from World War I through the 1970s—through the stories of three individuals and their families. Over a decade in the writing and research, and drawing on archival materials and over 1,200 interviews, The Warmth of Other Suns traces the lives of Ida Mae Gladney, George Starling and Robert Foster, from their difficult beginnings in the South, to their critical decisions to leave behind all they know and look for a better life in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.
