As precursor to our Juneteenth Celebration, we present a virtual, dramatic reading of “Day of Tears,” Julius Lester’s riveting novel-in-dialogue today from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM at the Wilson Branch Library. “Day of Tears” tells the story of the largest sale of enslaved individuals in American history. In early March, 1859, a Georgia plantation owner sold over 450 people to cover his gambling debts; this action would affect hundreds of lives for generations to come. The day was thereafter known as “The Day of Tears.” Join Director Laurie Maria Cabral and the “Day of Tears” cast for this free public performance via Zoom. (Suitable for children grades three and up). Free. 860-247-8690.
