About this event
In 1946, Marguerite de Angeli, a Philadelphia author and illustrator, published "Bright April." This groundbreaking book was the first mainstream children's book about a Black child experiencing racial prejudice written by a white author. In May, 2023, the Germantown Historical Society opened "Inspiring Bright April: Race and Class in 1940's Germantown," an exhibit about the book and its author. The exhibit includes an introductory film interview with Karla Hayden, Librarian of Congress. Barbara Dowdall, Volunteer Curator, will guide our tour.
