Join Nonfiction/Social History author Donya Williams, for the official release party of "Comes to The Light: Learning About the Entangled Families of Edgefield, South Carolina". Donya will talk about her journey in finding her family and how in that search she learned a portion of history that was never taught in school. There will be a meet and greet along with a discussion and book signing.
Although Donya was not born in DC she has lived in the Washington DC area for 33 years. Her family was thought of as being a part of the Black Elite families during what Donya calls Washington DCs personal Harlem Renaissance era. She is the Granddaughter of Jefferson and Annie Mae Yeldell, who were founding members of Greater New Hope Baptist Church and founders of Springfield Baptist Church both located in Northwest, Washington.
This event is free and open to all!
