Alex Byrd and I will be signing and speaking about our new book, Slavery, Segregation, and the Second Founding of Rice University, at several events this spring:

On January 19 at 6:30 p.m., we will be at Brazos Bookstore in conversation with our colleague Lacy M. Johnson.

On February 11 at 7:00 p.m., we will be at Kindred Stories, RSVP requested!

Copies of the book will be available for sale at both!
