Friday, August 5 at 1:00 p.m. in the Large auditorium

Join us as we welcome author Michele Albion, editor of The Quotable Amelia Earhart, as she explores the fearless pioneer and a record-breaking pilot, Amelia Earhart, who engaged the nation and the world when she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Today, Earhart is remembered most for her disappearance on the last leg of her round-the-world flight in 1937.  More than a record breaker or a ghost lost over the Pacific, Earhart was ambitious, driven, and strong at a time when these traits were considered unfeminine. Earhart’s words and her example encouraged women to step beyond the narrow confines of their traditional roles.
