Sept. 20-21

History, literature, and art are full of figures and stories that, for a variety of reasons, have not made it into mainstream conversations. Haunting is a term scholars use to illuminate historical material that is repressed, unresolved, or simply forgotten, but which is still lurking at the margins, waiting to be acknowledged and made present. What happens when we make the margins the center and open the door to new stories and histories? Join us on Sept. 20th and 21st to find out more, at the Buffalo Humanities Festival!

Friday, Sept. 20 | 7 p.m. | Asbury Hall at Babeville | An Evening with Percival Everett

Saturday, Sept. 21 | 9:30 a.m. | Buffalo & Erie County Public Library – Central Branch | Hauntings: Festival Day
