(Pittsburgh-born Charles “Teenie” Harris was the preeminent photographer for the Pittsburgh Courier, one of the nation’s most prominent Black newspapers photographing Pittsburgh’s historic African American community from 1935 to 1975).
Join us as we read Bonnie Garmus' bestselling novel, Lessons in Chemistry, which tells the story of Elizabeth Zott, a chemist who becomes a beloved cooking show host in the 1960s after being fired from her job. It's a book of many things but most notably serves as an amazing example of female ambition succeeding against the odds.
The book discussion will take place on Thursday, March 14 from 4:15-5:15pm in Heaton Family Learning Commons 232.
*All are welcome- even if you didn't get to read or finish the book*
In honor of Genocide Awareness Month, award-winning journalist and author Elizabeth Becker will be giving a virtual talk on the Cambodian Genocide.
