Virtual Discussion | History Book Club “New England Bound”


Look to the MFAH for good books and great conversations! The History Book Club presents free, in-depth discussions on literature and art.

Throughout the year, you’re invited to join these talks about books on life in Europe and America during the 18th and 19th centuries, inspired by the collections of the two MFAH house museums: Bayou Bend and Rienzi.

The January selection is New England Bound: Slavery and Colonization in Early America by Wendy Warren.

Live via Zoom / Wednesday, January 13, 2021 / 1:30 p.m. Central Time
