Veteran•Family•Community Collaborative: Author Michelle Green
Wednesday Mar 03, 2021
Wednesday Mar 03, 2021
The Museum's Veteran•Family•Community Collaborative has prepared a different kind of program —one perfect for Women’s History Month—and for baseball fans—Moderators Spike Murphree , Pat Gaston and Circe Olson Woessner and author Michelle Y. Green talk about baseball, Mamie "Peanut" Johnson, the Tuskegee Airmen and her family--and much more. NOTE: Michelle stated that certain source material for her book, "The Devil's Bargain"came from classified information. That was in error. The information came from her father's personal, annotated records, interviews she conducted over several years and other public records."
