SUMMARY:Join Writer Calvin Ramsey in our Biography Room
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, January 28th\, 2023 from 2:00-4:00 \nMr. Ramsey will be discussing the subject of his next work\, and his writing process. \nLight refreshments will be served at this casual event. NO RSVP is required\, and this event is free and open to all. \nMr. Ramsey has become a familiar face to many at the Institute Library in the last year or so. While we often chat with him about jazz\, and books others have written\, we are pleased to give him a venue to speak with you about his latest work-in-progress\, a biography of Edward Bouchet. \nEdward Alexander Bouchet (1852-1918) was born in New Haven and lived here as a child with his parents and siblings. He is recognized today for being the first Black man to earn a Ph.D from an American university\, in Physics; the degree was awarded by Yale University in 1876. Bouchet left New Haven and taught until he stepped down from teaching in 1913 due to poor health. Upon retirement he returned to his hometown\, New Haven\, and he stayed here until the end of his life in 1918. \nCalvin Ramsay turned to writing as a second career and found success writing plays and books for children\, among them Ruth and the Green Book (Candlewick Press)\, which you can purchase at your local bookstore –including Possible Futures\, 318 Edgewood Avenue\, New Haven CT @ corner of Edgewood & Hotchkiss
