When Mary and Anna enter the Bachelor of Arts program, also known as the "gentlemen's course" of study, at Oberlin College, they have little in common other than the color of their skin and their passion for education.While Mary was raised in luxury, attending presidential inaugurations with her wealthy father, Anna is a schoolteacher, likely the daughter of her enslaved mother's former owner, and works a second job to pay for her room and board. But despite their differences, both women share strength, ambition, and a deep yearning for change. If they can bridge the gaps between them, they just might build a lasting legacy.From its earliest days in the 1830s, Oberlin College admitted men and women, white and Black students. Though the doors are officially open, school policy cannot change the hearts of classmates who refuse to see a woman, and especially a Black woman, excel. Despite constantly being forced to prove themselves, the women triumphantly overcome every obstacle and push through their pain. And as the world evolves around them, Mary and Anna persevere to build a legacy of success and excellence.Based on the real lives of Mary Church Terrell, Anna Julia Cooper, and Ida Gibbs Hunt, The Ladies Hall is a mirror into times of great change--where progress and new possibilities are met with violence and resistance . . . but hope always rises. And it rises still. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/winston-salem/book-launch-for-the-ladies-hall-with-vanessa-miller/100001989331868169 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, workshops, womens-history-month - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - door_time: 2026-08-11T22:00:00Z - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Bookmarks - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 22.4, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Winston-Salem - **state**: NC - **country**: United States - **location**: Bookmarks - **lat**: 36.0972976 - **long**: -80.2505035 - **full address**: Bookmarks, 634 West 4th Street, Winston-Salem, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Book Launch for THE LADIES HALL with Vanessa Miller - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/96a9e82a2e7cf41f95e48b2cebc9e797987148afbd0abf51903270afc3a382d9-rimg-w1200-h600-dc86c6cc-gmir.jpg?v=1778614224 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Book Launch for THE LADIES HALL with Vanessa Miller being held? - **A:** Book Launch for THE LADIES HALL with Vanessa Miller takes place on Tue, 11 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Tue, 11 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Bookmarks, 634 West 4th Street, Winston-Salem, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Book Launch for THE LADIES HALL with Vanessa Miller? - **A:** Book Launch for THE LADIES HALL with Vanessa Miller is organized by Bookmarks. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
