Huxley & Hiro and the Delaware Historical Society are thrilled to host author Emily Lieb for a conversation about her new book, Road to Nowhere, which tells the story of how a never-built highway devastated Baltimore’s Rosemont neighborhood. This event will be moderated by University of Delaware professor Nina David, whose research has explored the impacts of I-95 construction in Wilmington.

The conversation will highlight how highway construction, whether in Baltimore, Wilmington, or beyond, has been a tool of systemic racism, destroying thriving Black middle-class communities through discriminatory housing, education, and transportation policies across the country.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A and book signing. Books will be available for purchase at the event, which will take place at the Huxley & Hiro Prose Parlor. Registration required, register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/an-evening-with-emily-lieb-at-huxley-hiro-tickets-1788783021169
