Historical Novel Society: DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION IN HISTORICAL FICTION: A CONVERSATION
June 27, 2021 - Sunday, 4:00-5:00PM (CT)

Sadeqa Johnson, Vanessa Riley

It's a truism that history is written by the victors, and sadly, that one-sided narrative based on dominance rather than accuracy persists today. Join two accomplished authors as we talk about the stories that need to be told and aren't, and what we can do as individuals and as a society to broaden our perspectives and hear voices that were previously silenced.

June 24, 2021 - Thursday, 9:00-10:00 AM (CT)

Denny S. Bryce, Piper Huguley, Vanessa Riley

Untold, compelling stories starring Black historical figures and events are manifold, but only recently has this genre come to light since Black authors have just gained the opportunity to tell these stories. The authors on this panel will discuss the historical figures that inspired their novels and their contributions to the Black history canon. These rich stories cannot be researched using conventional methods, so they will discuss their approach to understanding a people with a largely oral culture and what to do when resource material is written by those who neglected to consider the humanity of their historical figures.
