Alex Heard to speak at MP&F Speaker Series July 21

MP&F and the Nashville Public Library Foundation are proud to welcome author Alex Heard to Nashville for a discussion and signing of his highly acclaimed new book, “The Eyes of Willie McGee: A Tragedy of Race, Sex, and Secrets in the Jim Crow South.”
 
The free reception and book signing will take place at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, July 21, at the main branch of the Nashville Public Library downtown. Davis-Kidd will be on-site to sell books.
 
Dubbed by reviewers as a real-life version of “To Kill A Mockingbird” (appropriate on this, the 50th anniversary of TKAM), the book investigates the complicated drama surrounding McGee’s trial and eventual execution. For more on the book, visit http://eyesofwilliemcgee.com/.
 
Heard, the editorial director of “Outside” magazine and a graduate of Vanderbilt University, now resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
