​THE TORY HILL AUTHORS SERIES GOES VIRTUAL

The Warner Historical Society’s Tory Hill Authors Series kicks off its 11th season on July 11th with two firsts.  This is our first online series and the first time we have featured a graphic artist.  Joel Christian Gill is a cartoonist and historian who speaks nationally on the importance of sharing stories. He wrote the words and drew the pictures in Fast Enough: Bessie Stringfield’s First Ride (published by Lion Forge, 2019) and the award-winning graphic novel series Strange Fruit: Uncelebrated Narratives from Black History, as well as, Tales of The Talented Tenth from Fulcrum Publishing.

He has worked for diverse clients including the People's United Party of Belize, NBC, the Boston Globe and his has written for The Huffington Post. His latest work is a memoir chronicling how children deal with abuse and trauma: Fights: One Boy's Triumph Over Violence (Oni Press January 2020.) He was Chair of Foundations and then Comic Arts at The New Hampshire Institute of Art. He is currently an Associate Professor of Illustration at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Gill has dedicated his life to creating stories to build connections with readers through empathy, compassion, and ultimately humanity. He received his MFA from Boston University and his BA from Roanoke College.

The Tory Hill Authors Series is an annual summer event sponsored by the Warner Historical Society showcasing locally and nationally known authors reading and talking about their books and personal experiences.  The audience will be able to interact with the author online.  The readings begin at 7:00 p.m.  Tickets are five dollars and may be purchased online at www.toryhillauthorsseries.com.  A zoom link will be sent upon purchase.

This evening is the first of four presented by the Warner Historical Society.  The next performance will be on July 25 featuring feminist historian Susan Ware.

The Warner Historical Society formed over 50 years ago to preserve, educate about and keep alive Warner’s heritage.  The Society has yearly exhibits and programs in the Upton Chandler House Museum on Main Street and maintains the Lower Warner Meeting House which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
