Alysia Burton Steele & Delta Jewels
Thursday, May 28, 6pm
Hub City Bookshop

Delta Jewels: In Search of My Grandmother's Wisdom highlights over 50 Mississippi Delta female church elders who share poignant highlights of their lives during the Jim Crow era. Their stories are empowering and enlightening and break barriers across age, race and gender. The book began out as a personal project inspired by the memory of the author's grandmother (a Spartanburg native) who raised her. Steele drove over 6,000 miles and collected oral histories from women all across the Mississippi Delta.
