SUMMARY:Weinstein Author Series – Laura E. Helton | Scattered and Fugitive Things
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT\n\nJoin us for a talk by author and 
 historian Laura E. Helton on her book “Scattered and Fugitive Things: How 
 Black Collectors Created Archives and Remade History.” During the first 
 half of the 20th century\, a group of collectors and creators dedicated 
 themselves to documenting the history of African American life. At a time 
 when dominant institutions cast doubt on the value or even the idea of 
 Black history\, these bibliophiles\, scrapbookers and librarians created an 
 enduring set of African diasporic archives. This book tells the stories of 
 these Black collectors\, traveling from the parlors of the urban North to 
 historically Black college and university reading rooms and branch 
 libraries in the Jim Crow South. Helton\, an assistant professor of English 
 and history at the University of Delaware\, reveals Black collecting as a 
 radical critical tradition that reimagines past\, present and 
 future.\n\nThe Carole Weinstein Author Series supports the literary arts by 
 bringing both new and well-known authors to the Library of Virginia through 
 online or in-person events. Free and open to the public\, the series 
 focuses on Virginia authors and Virginia subjects across all genres.\n\nA 
 book signing will follow the talk. This book will be available at the 
 Virginia Shop.\n\nThis is a free event. Seating in the Lecture Hall is 
 available on a first come\, first served basis. Limited free parking is 
 available in the deck underneath the Library building. For more 
 information\, contact education@lva.virginia.gov.\n\n
