SUMMARY:Carroll 250 Speaker Series: Dolen Perkins Valdez
DESCRIPTION:Dolen Perkins-Valdez is the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of Balm\, Wench\, and Take My Hand\, which was a Target Book Club pick and earned her an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Fiction. She is known for reaching into the archives of American history and excavating the stories of long-forgotten Black men and women. And in Happy Land\, she widens her scope to uncover the true story of an entire kingdom that existed in history and very few know about. Hidden in the hills of Appalachia\, there was once The Kingdom of the Happy Land\, a territory ruled and owned by formerly enslaved people. Inspired by stories of African royals\, they reclaimed their freedom on American soil. For a while they thrived… until the kingdom suddenly disappeared. Happy Land\, shares a fictionalized account of the real Kingdom of the Happy Land\, a historical moment which has barely been explored until now. Books will be available for purchase and signing. \nPlease register for this free event at the link below. \nhttps://ccpl.librarymarket.com/event/happy-land \nPresented by A Likely Story Bookstore and Carroll County Public Library. \nCarroll Voices 250 speaker series celebrates the United States Semiquincentennial. The United States Semiquincentennial\, also called the Bisesquincentennial\, the Sestercentennial or the Quarter Millennial\, will be the 250th anniversary of the 1776 United States Declaration of Independence.
