Koritha Mitchell, associate professor, English, has been asked to give the keynote address at a Women's History Month banquet on March 22 at Marietta College. Mitchell will discuss her award-winning book, Living with Lynching: African American Lynching Plays, Performance, and Citizenship, 1890-1930, which focuses on black-authored lynching drama written before 1930. The event concludes with a book-signing.

The vice president for diversity and inclusion at Marietta College saw the recent ASCENT article about Mitchell and contacted her to be their guest speaker.
