Presentation of Book honoring Black men set for three Milwaukee libraries

 Just in time for Father’s Day, the Milwaukee Public Library will present Professor E. Adekunle Wilson, Ed. S., the author of the book Celebrating Good Black Men: Granddad, Greats, and Dad. Wilson will be appearing at three Milwaukee Libraries.

She will appear at Villard Avenue Library, 3310 W. Villard Ave., from 6-7:30 p.m.; Wednesday, June 15 at the Martin Luther King Library, 310 W. Locust St., from 6:30-7:30 p.m.; and the Center Street Library, 2727 W. Fond du Lac Ave., from 1 until 2:30 p.m. Celebrating Good Black Men paints a picture for the kind of personal character, routines, and priorities that enabled Black Americans to endure, persevere and progress as a people.

Readers are provided a behind-the-achievement glimpse into the mindsets of faith, determination and creativity. The programs will encourage and promote family reading, library use and American history. Light refreshments will be provided.
