The Friends of the Library announces its Edmund L.

Moshe Gold is associate professor and director of the writ- ing program at Fordham’s Rose Hill Campus. He holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University, and is co-editor of Joyce Studies Annual.

I Can’t Die But Once: The Life of Harriet Tubman Harriet Tubman, best known for her role as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, has been immortalized in the minds of Americans for 130 years. Though she is one of the most famous women in our nation’s history, we have come to know her mainly through fictionalized biographies written for school children. The reality of Harriet Tubman’s life is far more compelling. Gwendolyn Quezaire-Presutti separates reality from myth to reconstruct a richer and more accurate historical account of Tubman’s life at Sandwiched In on Friday, February 22 at 12:10 p.m.
