Reading: "Hand-Me-Down Stories"
Channel: Brooklyn Museum
Date: 09/06/2015

Brooklyn-based author Mary Morris reads from her newly published novel, The Jazz Palace, which explores race, gender stereotypes, and prejudice through a story set in 1920s Chicago. Morris discusses her two-decade undertaking to tell this story, her writing process, and the power of personal narratives and history to tell new stories.

This event took place at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art on May 28, 2015. Video courtesy Elizabeth A. Sackler Foundation.
