SUMMARY:Charles W. Chesnutt: Symposium (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Western Reserve Historical Society\, The Northern Ohio Bibliophilic Society\, The Rowfant Club\, Charles W. Chesnutt Digital Archive\, The Cuyahoga County Public Library\, and the Cleveland Public Library. \nThe Second Charles W. Chesnutt Symposium [In Person Only] \nSaturday\, September 26\, 2026  \n8:00 AM through 5:30 PM \nAt the Western Reserve Historical Society\, Cleveland\, Ohio  \nRegistration Fee: $80.00 for standard participants and $50.00 for full time students \nFully Refundable Date: August 15\, 2026 \nhttps://www.chesnutt2026.com or www.rowfant.org \nCharles W. Chesnutt (1858-1932) was arguably the most important African American author (fiction\, essays and advocacy) to ply his trade in America between Reconstruction and the Harlem Renaissance; he was certainly the most important author to come from Ohio during this period\, and his influence was clearly national. It is also important to note that several of his novels were not published until 50 years after his death\, largely because they were considered too provocative for their time.  \nFeaturing presentations by: \nStephanie Browner\, PhD: The New School  \nTess Chakkalakal\, PhD: Bowdoin College  \nCharles Duncan\, PhD: William Peace University  \nWilliam Hardwig\, PhD: University of Tennessee Knoxville  \nKenneth M. Price\, PhD: University of Nebraska Lincoln  \nRegennia Williams\, PhD: Western Reserve Historical Society Cleveland  \nThere will also be opportunities to see the Rowfant Club of Cleveland\, take a white-glove tour of the Chesnutt archives\, and interact with the Cleveland community. Continental breakfast and a full buffet luncheon will be served; local accommodation will be available near the Case Western Reserve University campus\, including the Glidden House. \nCosponsors: The Western Reserve Historical Society\, The Northern Ohio Bibliophilic Society\, Charles W. Chesnutt Digital Archive\, The Cuyahoga County Public Library\, and the Cleveland Public Library. \nhttps://chesnuttarchive.org/ \nQuestions? email cuw123@aol.com  \n
