An Evening with Emily Lieb at Huxley & Hiro

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

An Evening with Richard Bell

Join Delaware Historical Society and Huxley & Hiro Booksellers for an engaging author talk with Dr. Richard Bell as he shares insights about his latest book, followed by a Q&A and book signing.

In The American Revolution and the Fate of the World! Bell reveals the full breadth and depth of America’s founding event. The American Revolution was not only the colonies’ triumphant liberation from the rule of an overbearing England; it was also a cataclysm that pulled in participants from around the globe and threw the entire world order into chaos. Repositioning the Revolution at the center of an international web, Bell’s narrative ranges as far afield as India, Africa, Central America, and Australia.

The talk will be moderated by Dr. Zara Anishanslin is Associate Professor of History and Art History at the University of Delaware.

Books will be available for purchase at the event. Registration required. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/an-evening-with-richard-bell-at-the-delaware-history-museum-tickets-1755201688499
