Spend an evening with Mary Annette Pember, author of Medicine River: A Story of Survival and the Legacy of Indian Boarding Schools, in a candid conversation with moderator Frank Shultz, veteran local journalist and current Janesville Gazette columnist.

Presented as part of the Rock County Historical Society's Frances E. Willard Pioneering Women Series™, this conversation explores the lasting legacy of the federal Indian boarding school system and the deeply personal journey of uncovering one family's story. Through Medicine River, Pember demonstrates how history lives not only in archives, but in families, and reveals how the search for the past can become an act of truth, resilience, and healing.

This event is free, but tickets are limited - advance registration is recommended. Doors open at 5:30 PM.
