Book Talk with Author Martin Dobrow
Join us at the Fifth Maine Museum Saturday, September 26, from 6PM-7PM for an evening with author Martin Dobrow who will share on his soon-to-be-released book, Original City, Original Sin, which explores one of the great under-told stories in American history, namely the bloody civil rights campaign in St. Augustine, Florida, in 1963 and 1964.
This event is free and open to the public. We look forward to seeing you there.
Martin Dobrow reveals St. Augustine as a crucible of the Civil Rights Movement, where national injustices met local courage. Told through the actions of everyday people and known heroes, he shows both the triumphs and challenges of answering history’s call. Woven with journalistic rigor and lyrical wonder, this is a timely and beautiful book. -Ken Burns
