A Couple of My Articles Were Reprinted in a new Memphis Public Library Publication

Recently, the Memphis Public Library (via The Memphis Library Foundation) launched a new

quarterly publication called MPL UNBOUND.  


I’m happy and proud to report that a couple of my previously published articles are featured in

the inaugural issue of MPL UNBOUND (Fall, 2024).  Hey, I even got my name on the cover. 😍  The articles about my grandmother’s scrapbook and my family’s history in the Whitehaven community appear between pages 16-22 of the publication. 




Both of my articles previously appeared in issues of Storyboard Memphis. “MaDear’s Scrapbook” was featured in the December 23, 2020 issue of Storyboard Memphis after being published first in the August 10, 2018 & December 18, 2020 issues of Chapter 16.   My article “Tracing My Black Roots In Old Whitehaven” was first featured in the August 11, 2023 issue of Storyboard Memphis


For those who live in the Memphis area, a few free print copies of MPL UNBOUND may still be available at 1 of the 18 branches of the Memphis Public Library. 


A digital copy of MPL UNBOUND can be found on the Memphis Library Foundation’s Website.
