Lawrence Hill - Guest Lecturer for Writer's Craft Class

Celebrated author Lawrence Hill (The Book of Negros; Any Known Blood; Some Great Thing; and Black Berry, Sweet Juice) spoke to Grade 12 students in the Writer's Craft class in the library at Western Tech on November 8th.

Lorraine Linton, the principal of Western Tech, introduced him. School Trustee Irene Atkinson was in attendance and said a few words from the Toronto District School Board. Students and staff were delighted to hear him speak about himself, his writing and the history of slavery. It was an excellent presentation which left students inspired to read and write more.
