Short Attention Span Literary Club

August 13, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Rescheduled from August 6

This week’s story is “Drenched in Light“, by Zora Neale Hurston, an author who achieved fame in the early 1940s but whose work was subsequently largely forgotten, only to be revived in the 1970s. The story is often described as “a portrait of the artist as a young Black woman”.

All you need to join the club meeting is a device (laptop, desktop, smartphone or tablet) with an internet connection. Click here to register. You’ll receive a confirmation email containing information about joining us via Zoom.

We’re offering this program for free, but if you would like to make a donation to help the CMCH keep history alive through this difficult time, please click here. Or, to learn about the benefits of museum membership, click here!
