Join us for an open discussion and Q&A with Lowell Thompson, author of the popular pictorial history book African Americans in Chicago. He’ll talk about his research, how he found over 200 photos for inclusion and the writing process. Signed books will be available for purchase.

Lowell has spent his entire adult life creating books, paintings, and TV commercials, including Uptown’s Colored Wheel that stands in front of the Riviera Theatre. Lowell also worked on the documentary Channels Changers, which chronicles how he and other Chicago African American admakers helped changed the face of American media.

Held in partnership with Edgewater Branch Library.
