Mark Your Calendar for Two Important Dates
On Saturday, June 22, 2024 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., this Columnist will present an ultimate book signing event. It will be held at the Frank E. Merriweather Library in the Dr. Eva M. Doyle auditorium. At this event I will have my books on display and I will sign them. I will also do selected readings from a few of the books. This is the first time that all books listed below will be on display at the same time. They include the following:
My 45-Year Journey Teaching African and African American History in the Home, School, and Community.
Eye On History, The Golden Collection of Articles on African and African American History – Lost History– Forgotten History.
The African Roots of Ludwig Van Beethoven.
Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Read, Learn, and Remember.
Warren Gamaliel Harding, One of America’s Black Presidents.
Buffalo’s Black Community, Celebrating Kwanzaa in Buffalo.
Secrets of the Dollar Bill, Hidden in Plain Sight.
Jambo, Let’s Count and Jambo Let’s Count Again. The last two are coloring books for children.
Celebrating Kwanzaa in Buffalo and the Jambo books were illustrated by well-known storyteller and my his tory partner Karima Amin. I hope by doing this program it will inspire others to write a book. I will also have copies of my article entitled: “Tips for Writing a Book.”
The next important date is Saturday, July 7, 2024 from 1 to 3:00 p.m. This will be the 15th Annual Romeo Doyle Muhammad Scholarship awards program. It will be held at the Merriweather Library. I created this scholarship in honor of my late husband, Romeo Doyle Muhammad. He was a Veteran of the Korean War. He always encouraged students to stay in school and get a good education. This award is always presented in July, which is the birth month of my husband. Each student will receive a check and a gift bag with school supplies. The names of this year’s winners will be announced in the month of June.
Both of these events are free and open to the public. I would like to thank the supporters of this scholarship. If you would like to support this scholarship you can call me at (716) 847-6010 or send an email message to me at ewriter52@roadrunner.com.
