April Lecture with Delbert DeWitty

On April 10th, Delbert DeWitty will be joining us for two events discussing African and African American world history and its connections to Middle Tennessee. At noon, there will be a lunch and learn session. This session is free to attend with a suggested donation to Travellers Rest and you can bring your own lunch to enjoy while hearing from Mr. DeWitty. In the evening, he will once again be discussing local and regional connections to African and African American world history, and at this session charcuterie and refreshments will be provided.
