WMRA Books & Brews: Beth Macy
On May 9th, 2017, the second Tuesday of the month, we welcome author Beth Macy to Pale Fire Brewing Company for the next Books & Brews, a series of book talks in collaboration with WMRA Public Radio.

Beth Macy will be discussing her newest book "Truvine." The book will be available for purchase, courtesy of Barnes & Noble.

Due to the overwhelming success of our Books and Brews series, we are now issuing free tickets to listeners so they will have a space at the event. Tickets will be available two weeks before the event.

These tickets will be honored at Pale Fire Brewing Company before 6:15pm on the night of the event. In other words, if someone arrives before 6:15 and presents their ticket, they will definitely get in. After 6:15pm, Pale Fire will open the event to anyone and tickets will no longer guarantee a spot.

And as always, when you present your WMRA MemberCard, you'll receive a certificate for a complimentary beer.

The true story of two African-American brothers who were kidnapped and displayed as circus freaks, and whose mother endured a 28-year struggle to get them back.

The year was 1899 and the place a sweltering tobacco farm in the Jim Crow South town of Truevine, Virginia. George and Willie Muse were two little boys born to a sharecropper family. One day a white man offered them a piece of candy, setting off events that would take them around the world and change their lives forever.
Captured into the circus, the Muse brothers performed for royalty at Buckingham Palace and headlined over a dozen sold-out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden. They were global superstars in a pre-broadcast era. But the very root of their success was in the color of their skin and in the outrageous caricatures they were forced to assume: supposed cannibals, sheep-headed freaks, even "Ambassadors from Mars." Back home, their mother never accepted that they were "gone" and spent 28 years trying to get them back.

Through hundreds of interviews and decades of research, Beth Macy expertly explores a central and difficult question: Where were the brothers better off? On the world stage as stars or in poverty at home? TRUEVINE is a compelling narrative rich in historical detail and rife with implications to race relations today.
