Talking In The Library

On April 7, the Library Company of Philadelphia hosted a candid conversation about lessons learned in the making of Ghost River: Fall and Rise of the Conestoga, the Library Company’s first graphic novel. This web-based symposium featured an invocation by Curtis Zunigha (Delaware Tribe of Indians); a panel discussion with project advisors, Ron Nash, Curtis Zunigha, and Daniel Richter; a conversation with author Lee Francis IV (Laguna Pueblo), artist Weshoyot Alvitre (Tongva), and editor Will Fenton, moderated by Bill Adair; and an overview of the Ghost River digital edition (GhostRiver.org) with creators Nicole Scalessa, Ann McShane, and Will Fenton. In this month’s episode of Talking in the Library, Fenton shares some highlights from the afternoon. https://librarycompany.org/2020/04/24/redrawing-history-symposium/
