To mark Black History Month, author Eric Gardner of Saginaw Valley State University will talk about his book "Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s Civil War and Reconstruction"

In a career of over fifty years, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper fought for abolition, women's suffrage, Black suffrage, civil rights, and temperance. While Harper was well-known as a writer during her lifetime, many twentieth-century critics dismissed or ignored her. She has often been reduced to an abolitionist poet who later, decades after emancipation, published a notable novel. Her massive efforts amid the Civil War and Reconstruction have been especially understudied and misunderstood.

Eric Gardner explores how this major African American author-activist claimed these nation-shaking moments as her own.
