Come to the Newton Free Library for an author talk with Isabel Wilkerson who will talk about her book The Warmth of Other Suns: the Epic Story of America’s Great Migration which covers the journey of three African-Americans fleeing from the Jim Crow South to U.S. cities in the North and West in search of a better life in the early half of the 20th century. In doing research for the book, Wilkerson interviewed more than 1,000 people and gained access to new data and official records.
