Foster leads talk on marriage book
Frances Smith Foster, Charles Howard Candler Professor of English and Women’s Studies, will discuss her new book, “till Death or Distance Do Us Part: Love and Marriage in African America,” on Monday, March 22 at 6 p.m. in the Center for Ethics, room 102.
Through letters, poems, sermons, essays, court cases and articles written by slaves and free antebellum African Americans, Foster challenges deeply ingrained theories about slave marriages and the impact they have had on modern African American marital stability.
The Office of Multicultural Programs and Services, Center for Ethics, and Caucus of Emory Black Alumni sponsor this free reading and booksigning. For more information call 404-727-6754.
