Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with select antique pieces from Ward's personal archives—many of which are featured in the book—as interactive primary sources that reflect Black ancestral presence and adornment traditions and will learn practical methods for preserving family heirlooms such as photographs, jewelry, and other sentimental objects.

Books will be available for sale and signing.

Her research centers on integrating the ancestral Black diaspora into antique jewelry representation and reimagining the broader story of Black Victorian and Edwardian life.

Presented by Adult Services.
