The NewSouth Bookstore actively hosts bookstore and off-site literary programs — book talks and readings — along with a variety of other programs both entertaining and educational. These include presentations by historians, readings of plays, music events, and community service programs. We enjoy such gatherings quite a lot. Our bookstore events calendar is always evolving, so please regularly check back here for updates to our calendar (and/or follow us on social media, where all such activities are also posted). We welcome your event suggestions and thank you for your support.
Thursday, September 12 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Grace Elizabeth Hale book talk about In the Pines: A Lynching, a Lie, a Reckoning
September 12 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
In this “courageous, compelling and essential and critically important book” (Bryan Stevenson), an award-winning scholar tackles her toughest research assignment yet: the unsolved murder of a Black man in rural Mississippi while her grandfather was the local sheriff, a cold case that sheds new light on the hidden legacy of racial terror in America. John Grisham calls the work “remarkable.” Join us at The NewSouth Bookstore for a talk by Grace Elizabeth Hale about her new book — a work of national and personal reckoning — on Thursday, September 12 at 5:30pm.
