Author Panel | Agency and Authenticity in Works of Fiction: Who Tells the Story?

Library Friends of Cook County and the Grand Marais Art Colony invite the community to a panel discussion featuring five esteemed Minnesota authors and educators. The discussion will center around the primary questions: 1) Who can best tell the story of people of color in literature? 2) Why is agency and authenticity important in the creation of works of fiction? There will also be ample time for questions. The panel will be moderated by Staci Drouillard and feature Michael Kleber-Diggs, Carol Miller, David Mura, Mona Susan Power and Michael Torres.

This event is free and open to the public, but prior registration is required due to space limitations.

Funding for this event is generously provided by the Lloyd K. Johnson Foundation from a grant written and received by the Library Friends of Cook County.
