Forest Hazel speaks about mining at the Chatham Historical Museum
Historic Chatham County Courthouse 9 Hillsboro St., Pittsboro, NC, United StatesSUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 AT 2PM. Join us at the Historic Chatham County Courthouse to hear Forest Hazel talk about mining in Chatham County. We’ve had so many people view the mining exhibit in the Museum that we asked Forest, who has researched and advocated for the recognition of Chatham's unique mining history to give a program on it this week. Forest will be available in the Museum on Sunday from noon until 2pm, and again after the presentation. He has lots of interesting information to share about the coal mines that once flourished in the southwestern part of Chatham County and the disasters that occurred there, and he welcomes your questions. Don't miss the mining exhibit in the Museum, which shows the progression of lights used in old mines -- from candles to battery operated headlamps, along with other mining artifacts. The program is from 2pm to 3pm and the Museum will be open from noon until 4pm. Both are free and everyone is welcome!

Anise Vance presents HUSH HARBOR, with Daniel Black at Flyleaf Books
Flyleaf Books 752 MLK Jr Blvd, Chapel Hill, NCA resistance group takes America's racial reckoning into its own hands in this powerful, stirringly original debut novel. After the murder of an unarmed Black teenager by the hands of the police, protests spread like wildfire in Bliss City, New Jersey. A full-scale resistance group takes control of an abandoned housing project and decide to call it Hush Harbor, in homage to the secret spaces their enslaved ancestors would gather to pray. Jeremiah Prince, alongside his sister Nova, are leaders of the revolution, but have ideological differences regarding how the movement should proceed. When a new mayor with ties to white supremacists threatens the group’s pseudo-sanctuary and locks the city down, the collective must come to a decision for their very survival. Haunting, provocative, heart-pounding and tender, Hush Harbor presents a high-stakes world grounded on the thought-provoking premise: What would you sacrifice in the name of justice? Anise Vance is a writer from the African and Iranian diasporas. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Rutgers University-Camden. As a Mitchell Scholar, he received an MPhil in Geography from Queen's University Belfast. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College and currently lives in North Carolina with his wife and two children.
