Penn Center’s York W. Baily Museum held a book talk and book signing for Meeting At The Table: African-American Women Write on Race, Culture and Community on Saturday.

In the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arber, and the worldwide protests that followed in 2020, co-editors Tina McElroy Ansa and Wanda Lloyd created a project that would bring voices of African-American women together to honestly and transparently share how race and culture affected them in ways related to their families, their careers and their communities.
