About the event

Janel George, a recipient of the “Illuminating Black Lives Fellowship” from the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow, in collaboration with the Washington County Community Remembrance Project, will facilitate a writing workshop examining issues of race and history. “Story as Memorial: Writing to Remember” will encourage attendees to reflect upon people and experiences from their past as they learn about memorializing through writing. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in different forms of writing to explore memories, including journaling, personal narrative/essay and poetry. Participants will also explore issues of race and remembering and learn how writing can be a vehicle for healing, truth-telling and community-building. The workshop will be held at the Fayetteville Public Library at 401 W. Mountain Street from 2:00 – 4:00 pm on Saturday, July 10. Register at www.faylib.org/event/5227908.
