Attend Leonard Pitts Jr.'s event, "54 Miles," at Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore on August 6, 2024. The novel delves into the events of March 1965, following the story of young Adam as he participates in the voting rights campaign. Uncovering a devastating family secret, Adam finds himself in turmoil, while his mother, Thelma, returns to the South after two decades to face her past and protect her son. Simultaneously, Thelma's brother, Luther, comes face to face with the man who murdered their parents, now weakened and at his mercy, forcing Luther to confront his traumatic past. Leonard Pitts Jr., a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and renowned journalist, masterfully weaves together a gripping narrative that explores themes of justice, family, and the enduring impact of history. Doors open at 6 pm for registered attendees, with free parking vouchers available at the Franklin Street Garage for those parking after 4 pm. Don't miss out on this thought-provoking literary event. Tickets on sale starting May 13 at 12:00 PM.
