Program Description

Event Details

We'll be discussing Henry Ossian Flipper's experiences as a Black cadet at West Point as recorded in his autobiography The Colored Cadet of West Point. The already rigorous demands of cadet life at West Point are even harder for Flipper, who experiences racism and ostracism at West Point shortly after the Civil War. This book is available on Hoopla as an e-book. After registering, you'll receive an email with a link to connect to our meeting on October 9th.
