Hauberg History Series: Author Shellie Moore Guy

The Hauberg History Series returns for the fall season. Join Friends of Hauberg as we welcome author Shellie Moore Guy in to discuss her book "The Family Tree".

"The Family Tree, written by Shellie Moore Guy and illustrated by Gwen Ballard Patton, tells the real-life story of Charley Wilson and Sandy Terry, two brothers who escaped slavery to join the Union Army to fight for the freedom of their people during the Civil War. Learn how the brothers lived during slavery, how they escaped, and what they did during their time as soldiers. Follow their families as they settle following the war and how they and their descendants become important people in their new communities."

The Hauberg History Series is on Thursday, September 18th with doors opening at 6:30PM and the program to begin at 7PM. This is an all-ages event so feel free to bring your children. Shellie Moore Guy will have some books available for purchase at the event. Admission to the History Series is $5 for adults at the door, children 12 and under and members of Friends of Hauberg Civic Center Foundation get in free.
