Virtual book talk: By Hands Now Known: Jim Crow's Legal Executioners
7 p.m.

Margaret Burnham, founding director of the Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project at Northeastern University, will discuss her recent book, By Hands Now Known: Jim Crow's Legal Executioners.

This prompted battles over questions of jurisdiction, many right here in Detroit.

Ilyon Woo will discuss her recent book, Master, Slave, Husband, Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom, which recounts the story of William and Ellen Craft, the most famous couple to flee enslavement in the south.

They did so by “hiding in plain sight;” Ellen, who was light skinned, posed as a slave owner traveling northward with her personal servant, William. They made it to freedom by boat and railroad car. The couple wanted to legalize their marriage – which was denied to them in slavery – and raise a family in freedom.

Come and be inspired by this story of the quest for love and freedom during Love Stories from the Underground Railroad, which celebrates Black History Month and Valentine’s Day. This is the 11th consecutive year for Love Stories.

An alumni reception will precede the event in the Student Union Ballroom lobby at 5:30 p.m., and a book signing will follow Woo's talk.
