Juneteenth

June 21 (2:00 PM) Omar Tyree will be speaking at the Forest Avenue Library. His talk will include a discussion of his latest novel, The Last Street Novel. A New York Times best selling author of many urban fiction novels, Tyree is also a sought-after public speaker. Tyree’s program is co-sponsored by Mid-City Vision and is scheduled to be part of this year’s Juneteenth celebration. A little tidbit from our index to the Des Moines Register:
