Join us for a celebration of the publication of A Miserable Revenge: A Story of Life in Virginia, a never-before-published novel written in 1876-77 by Harrisonburg’s trailblazing Black educator George A. Newman Sr. This book is now in print for the first time in honor of the 150th anniversary of Newman’s arrival in Harrisonburg. The symposium will be preceded by tours of the Dallard-Newman House (4pm) and the Newtown Cemetery and Lucy F. Simms School (4:45pm).
