Event has ended
25 South St Auburn, NY 13021
Join us on Saturday, September 21, 2024, during International Underground Railroad Month for a 2 p.m. program with the National Book Award-winning historian and Harvard University professor Tiya Miles at the NYS Equal Rights Heritage Center in historic downtown Auburn, New York.
Dr. Tiya Miles is a Radcliffe Alumnae Professor at Harvard Radcliffe Institute, a professor of history in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the Presidential Committee on Harvard and the Legacy of Slavery, a University-wide effort anchored at Harvard Radcliffe Institute. She is the author of "Night Flyer: Harriet Tubman and the Faith Dreams of a Free People" and "Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation," among other titles.
"Tiya Miles’s extraordinary Night Flyer changes all that. With her characteristic tenderness and imaginative genius, Miles explores beyond the stock historical grid to weave Tubman’s life into the fabric of her world."
A Q&A and book signing will follow the talk; both "Night Flyer" and "Wild Girls" will be for sale at the event. This program is free and open to the public.
