I AM A MAN: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement, 1960–1970
2023-08-11 | Civil War Museum, 5400 1st Avenue, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
The 1960 –1970 decade was a momentous time for the civil rights movement in the American South. It was an historic decade that unleashed both hope for the future and profound change as public spaces were desegregated and as African Americans secured their right to vote. I AM A MAN: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement, 1960–1970 displays a wide range of photographs taken by amateurs, local photojournalists, and internationally known photographers. Together, they provide a vivid visual story of the evolution of the civil rights movement and shed light on the movement’s integration in the daily living in the American South.

Meet the Author - D. Lieber
2023-08-11 11:00 - 14:00 | Studio Moonfall, 5031 7th Avenue, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
Meet the Author!
Visit us on Friday, August 11, 2023 at Studio Moonfall from 11am to 2pm to meet Fantasy/Romance Author, D. Lieber.
Hang out at the shop and take a peek inside their book, Once in a Black Moon:
Chicago journalist Erin Nichols isn’t about to give up when she’s fired for writing an exposé. But when a combination of murder, magic, and celestial events transports her through time and space to Canada’s western frontier, city hall corruption becomes the least of her worries.
Panicked and adrift, she awakens in a body not her own, which was found left for dead in the wilderness.
Erin is relieved to take shelter with the local Mountie-the picture of upright Canadian fortitude. But as tragedy stalks the nearby First Nation reserve, Erin learns from a Romanian mystic that magic is dying, and the fae are turning to their darker natures to survive.
While the reserved and sexy Mountie helps her navigate a time in which she doesn’t belong, the mysterious and seductive conjurer helps her try to find a way home. As they alight feelings and desires Erin never knew she was capable of, she begins to wonder where she truly belongs.
Going back could cost her heart but staying could cost her life.

D. Lieber has a wanderlust that would make a butterfly envious. When she isn’t planning her next physical adventure, she’s recklessly jumping from one fictional world to another. Her love of reading led her to earn a Bachelor’s in English from Wright State University.
Beyond her skeptic and slightly pessimistic mind, Lieber wants to believe. She has been many places—from Canada to England, France to Italy, Germany to Russia—believing that a better world comes from putting a face on “other.” She is a romantic idealist at heart, always fighting to keep her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds.
Lieber lives in Wisconsin with her husband (John) and cats (Yin and Nox).
See you from 11am to 2pm on Friday, August 11, 2023 at Studio Moonfall, 5031 7th Avenue with D. Lieber!
