Ronne Hartfield

For a reading and discussion of her acclaimed book,

Another Way Home: The Tangled Roots of Race in One Chicago Family

Ronne Hartfield’s compelling book, Another Way Home, is both a moving family history (seen through the eyes of her mother, Day Shepherd) and the tale of the Great Migration, tracing Shepherd’s journey from plantation life to Bronzeville, the epicenter of black Chicago during the first half of the 20th century. Here we witness the bustling, vibrant middle class culture and relive crucial moments in African American history as they are experienced by the author’s family and others in Chicago’s South Side black community – from the race riots of 1919 and the Great Depression to the murder of Emmett Till and the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement.
