The author plumbs historical documentation, sifting historical advertisements and archiving familial connections. The book is a history told by grandmothers and grandfathers. It addresses a history previously told under a different light or never told at all. These are the tales of an heir of the previously enslaved, tales of images seen and unseen, the voices of the mystical. The Water Cries represents a contribution to the telling the long-ignored truths of Galveston's central role in the untenable trade of human souls, slavery. The book is divided into three before Emancipation (1840-1865); after Emancipation (1865-1940), with the third section providing concrete suggestions for Galveston moving forward. This latter section involves giving faces and names to the voices we hear, the creation of a historical district, and the borrowing of other communities' progress. The Water Cries is a contribution to the rest of us also, particularly as we continue to grapple with what W. E. B. Du Bois described as America's unique problem, the color line."Available from the printing press in paperback and e-bookhttps://www.ttupress.org/9781682831991/the-water-cries/ - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/austin/atx-nerdy-for-nonfiction-bookclub-april-meetup/100001983691533777 - **Event Categories**: Art, Meetups, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Austin - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: Cherrywood Coffeehouse - **lat**: 30.2935632 - **long**: -97.7160212 - **full address**: Cherrywood Coffeehouse, 1400 East 38th 1/2 Street, Austin, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: ATX Nerdy for Nonfiction bookclub April meetup - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/7104e3952edc0479059ea41e87f5bf11d04d3f38f18233ad0f05ef771d0b1edc-rimg-w1200-h1405-dc000000-gmir.jpg?v=1772336879 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is ATX Nerdy for Nonfiction bookclub April meetup being held? - **A:** ATX Nerdy for Nonfiction bookclub April meetup takes place on Wed, 15 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 15 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Cherrywood Coffeehouse, 1400 East 38th 1/2 Street, Austin, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing ATX Nerdy for Nonfiction bookclub April meetup? - **A:** ATX Nerdy for Nonfiction bookclub April meetup is organized by ATX Nerdy for Nonfiction book club. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "ATX Nerdy for Nonfiction bookclub April meetup", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/7104e3952edc0479059ea41e87f5bf11d04d3f38f18233ad0f05ef771d0b1edc-rimg-w1200-h1405-dc000000-gmir.jpg?v=1772336879", "startDate": "2026-04-15T18:30:00-05:00", "endDate": "2026-04-15T19:30:00-05:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/austin/atx-nerdy-for-nonfiction-bookclub-april-meetup/100001983691533777", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Cherrywood Coffeehouse", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1400 East 38th 1/2 Street", "postalCode": "78722", "addressLocality": "Austin", "addressRegion": "TX", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "30.2935632", "longitude": "-97.7160212" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Welcome to Nerdy for Nonfiction- an in-person book club for the endlessly curious!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-01", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-15T19:30:00-05:00", "validFrom": "2026-03-01", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/austin/atx-nerdy-for-nonfiction-bookclub-april-meetup/100001983691533777" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-01", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-01", "url": "https://allevents.in/austin/atx-nerdy-for-nonfiction-bookclub-april-meetup/100001983691533777", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "ATX Nerdy for Nonfiction book club", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/atx-nerdy-for-nonfiction-book-club/27231255", "description": "Welcome to Nerdy for Nonfiction- an in-person book club for the endlessly curious!We will dive into fascinating true stories, mind-expanding ideas, and the kinds of books that make you say, \"Wait, did you know this?!\" Whether it's history, science, psychology, biography or memoir, we love learning about the world one page at a time.
