Writers in the Schools (WITS) Writer To Present at Houston Public Library

An Afternoon with Mignette Patrick Dorsey

as part of the Houston Public Library “An Afternoon With” Author Series

Saturday, February 25 | 1 PM

WITS writer and award-winning journalist Mignette Patrick Dorsey will discuss her book, Speak Truth to Power: The Story of Charles Patrick, a Civil Rights Pioneer, which tells the story of the author’s father. Charles Patrick’s quest for justice in segregated Alabama on the eve of the civil rights movement represents a telling instance of the growing determination of African Americans to be treated fairly; it was part of the broadening and deepening stream of resolve that led to the widespread activism of the civil rights movement.
