About this event
"Let Us March On" by Shara Moon is a historical fiction novel that tells the story of Elizabeth "Lizzie" McDuffie, a Black maid in the White House during FDR's presidency. Through Lizzie's eyes, the novel offers a glimpse into life behind the scenes at the White House and explores the experiences of Black Americans during that era, including the challenges of discrimination, segregation, and lynching. Lizzie, due to her close relationship with FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt, becomes a confidante and advocate for the Black community, pushing for progress and inclusion in the face of injustice. The novel spans from the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot to the day FDR died in 1945.
