ROSE NOLAN TO PRESENT IN LAFAYETTE COUNTY, MO

We are excited to see that a friend of our Juneteenth Celebrations, Ms. Rose Nolan, is scheduled to present during the month of February at the Battle of Lexington State Historic Site in Lexington,MO. The presentation is on Saturday, February 28, 2009 at 1 pm.

Nolan, author of the book, Hoecakes, Hambones and All That Jazz, will talk about African American customs and traditions, especially as it relates to Missourians. There will be toe-tapping rhythms of ragtime and the flavors of soul food. A small exhibit on Scott Joplin and ragtime music will also be featured. The presentation is a service of the State Historical Society of Missouri as part of its Missouri History Speakers' Bureau.
