# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Jeffrey Bennett: Author Q&A + Signing @ The Dogeared Page!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us at The Dogeared Page on Saturday, February 28, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM for a special afternoon with local author Jeff Bennett as we celebrate the release of his new book, "The Black Belt of Virginia: Untold Stories of African American History."

During the event, Bennett will read selections from his book, followed by a brief Q&A with the author about why this history remains vital today. 

Published in January 2026, by The History Press, The Black Belt of Virginia explores the rich legacy of Black communities across the Commonwealth, including the histories of more than 70 displaced communities whose stories have too often gone untold. Through careful research and compelling storytelling, Bennett shines a light on resilience, cultural contributions, and the lasting impact of these communities on Virginia’s past and present.

A Virginia native from Danville and a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), Bennett specializes in Black history, race relations, and African diaspora studies. His work has appeared in publications including Cardinal News, The Danville Register & Bee, and Medium.

Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase copies of The Black Belt of Virginia at the event, and Bennett will be available to sign books on-site.

Don’t miss this meaningful afternoon of history, conversation, and community. We look forward to seeing you there!
