The Robert Russa Moton Museum is proud to host an evening with Jacinda Townsend as part of the Longwood Authors Series, an annual literary celebration that brings guest authors to share their work and connect with our community. This year, we are excited to have Townsend, the acclaimed author of Mother Country, winner of the 2023 Ernest Gaines Award for Literary Excellence and a finalist for both the Mark Twain American Voice in Literature and the Hurston/Wright Legacy Awards.

The Longwood Authors Series is dedicated to fostering a love for literature and supporting the arts within our community, making this an event you won’t want to miss.
