“In Their Path: A Writer Shares Her Journey Along Ohio’s Underground Railroad” is being presented as part of a special literacy event for parents and children, grades pre-K-8, by the Institute for Educational Renewal (IER), which is affiliated with John Carroll University. IER is a professional development organization working in local school districts and currently coordinating the activities of the Cleveland Municipal School District’s Children’s Book Fund and providing on-site support in Euclid and Warrensville Heights.

Following Southgate’s presentation, children and their parents will have the opportunity to develop and share their own “stories” during a writing workshop activity.

This event is free, with limited seating.
