Charron is an associate professor of history at North Carolina State University. She will read from and talk about her book “Freedom’s Teacher: The Life of Septima Clark,” which won the 2010 George C. Rogers Jr. Award from the South Carolina Historical Society and the 2010 Julia Cherry Spruill Prize from the Southern Association for Women Historians.

The six-part Writer’s Discussion Series will feature book readings and discussions with selected authors throughout the semester. The first speaker was Gerald Horne, the author of “Negro Comrades of the Crown: African Americans and the British Empire Fight the U.S. Before Emancipation” and “Fighting in Paradise: Labor Unions, Racism, and Communists in the Making of Modern Hawaii.”
