PBS Books Hemingway Exhibition
Celebrating Ernest Hemingway's work and life, PBS Books will open a virtual exhibition on Monday, March 29, on PBSBooks.org. The exhibition will highlight unique Hemingway books and materials found at libraries across the country. In addition, it will include personal stories collected from PBS Books social media channels related to Hemingway. PBS Books encourages public media stations and community partners to share any content to include in its virtual exhibit.
Trailblazing American Women Writers
PBS Books continues to present its Trailblazing American Women Writers Project with poet, writer, and activist Sonia Sanchez, in partnership with Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) on Thursday, March 18, at 8pm ET on Facebook Live. Attendees can also join the conversation on ZOOM (Passcode: 114304).
Sanchez is known as a leader of the Black Arts Movement, and has written over a dozen books of poetry, as well as essays, plays, and children's books. She is known as the first poet to use urban Black English in written form, using rhythm to change the world of poetry. Along with being a leader in the Black Arts movement, she was and continues to be active fighting for civil rights.
Following the interview with Sanchez will be Joy Harjo on Tuesday, April 27, and Amy Tan on Thursday, May 6.
This year, the Trailblazing American Women Writers Project is supported by National Endowment for the Arts. The goal of the project is to highlight incredible women authors and their accomplishments as part of our ongoing celebration of the ratification of the 19th Amendment.
When I'm 65 Episode One: The COVID Effect
The coronavirus outbreak has had profound impacts on our personal lives: our health, relationships, work, and even our finances. As we emerge from our quarantine, Americans are facing a new financial reality. How do we navigate this new normal? And what do we need to do to set up our personal finances to thrive in a post-COVID world?
Join us March 26 at 1pm ET as we discuss: Stimulus payments and fraud, setting up retirement savings and investments in an uncertain market, and the lessons we've learned in the past year to create a more secure future and prepare for the day we turn 65 - and beyond.
