THRIVE: Dinner & An Evening with Author Dave Larsen
Thursday, November 19
Join Thrive as we welcome Chicago author Dave Larsen, who will share insights from his historical novel, Green Street in Black and White: A Chicago Story.
Set in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood during the early 1960s, the novel follows a young boy and his friends as their community experiences racial change and social upheaval. Drawing on events from his own childhood, Larsen explores the challenges faced by families, neighbors, and churches during a time of uncertainty.
A lifelong Chicagoan, Larsen has written extensively about the city's history and has contributed to The Banner, Reformed Journal, and other publications.
This event is free and open to all. We invite you to join us for an engaging evening of Chicago history, storytelling, and conversation.
