In celebration of Black History Month, the Coronado Historical Association and the San Diego History Center invite you to the book launch of Cynthia Hudgins’s memoir, The Other Side of the Fence. This compelling and important work chronicles the life of Cynthia Hudgins, a woman who grew up in Coronado in the 1920s and 1930s and was raised there by her formerly enslaved grandparents, Amos and Annie Hudgins. Claire Fishback, an author and Cynthia’s granddaughter, has worked diligently to transcribe Cynthia’s manuscript that was left behind after her passing at the age of 93 in 2015. Kevin Ashley, who publishes the Coronado Black History Project blog was instrumental in bringing Cynthia’s story to the public’s attention. Both will attend the launch to share the background and process of publishing Cynthia’s memoir.
This event is free to attend, but RSVP is required. RSVP at this website. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.

“In 2019 Lamb’s had terrific response to our production of ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ at the Avo Playhouse in Vista, so I added it to our 2020 Season in Coronado,” explained Producing Artistic Director Robert Smyth.
“But then Covid jumbled everything. We finally had a six month run of ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ in 2022. In the meantime I wanted to follow that story of men who changed American music in the ‘50s, with something to feature some of the great women singers Lamb’s has worked with. So I asked Kerry Meads and Vanda Eggington, who had done such a great job developing the hits ‘Boomers” and ‘American Rhythm’ for Lamb’s, to tackle a production about the amazing women singers & songwriters of the ‘60s. And, now finally, the premiere of R-E-S-P-E-C-T!”

Biography & Memoir Book Club: "Between Two Kingdoms"
2023-02-08 13:00 - 14:00 | Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Join the Through Their Eyes Book Club in reading “Between Two Kingdoms” by Suleika Jaouard. Just a few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. Just like that, the life she had imagined for herself had gone up in flames.
After four years, in a hospital bed fighting for her survival and chronicling the saga in a column for The New York Times, Jaouard embarked—with her new best friend, Oscar, a scruffy terrier mutt—on a 100-day, 15,000-mile road trip across the country. She set out to meet some of the strangers who had written to her during her years in the hospital. “Between Two Kingdoms” is a profound chronicle of survivorship and a fierce, tender, and inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again.

Through Their Eyes Book Club meets on the second Wednesday of month.
