Local Author Hosting Book Launch at WCPL-Main

History is not just interesting, it’s important! We hope you’ll come out and hear local historian and author, Paul Clements, speak about his newest book on Monday, June 27, at 6 p.m.

Follow the link for more information about the book.

Local author Paul Clements will host a book launch and discussion for his latest publication, Tell Them We Were Rising, at the Williamson County Public Library in Franklin Monday from 6-7:30 p.m.

The book is a collection of 23 stories about “individuals of color through slavery and Jim Crow, in Nashville and beyond.”

Clements has been studying history and writing about history for almost 50 years. His first book, a two-volume study of the architecture and history of antebellum homes in Davidson County called “A Past Remembered,” came out in 1987. Then, he got interested in the stories people had to tell — the living history of Middle Tennessee.
