Summer Author Series ft. Bridgett M. Davis & Felicia B. George

The Detroit Writing Room Summer Author Series event featured authors Bridgett M. Davis and Felicia B. George.
Bridgett M. Davis is the author of the memoir, “The World According To Fannie Davis: My Mother’s Life In The Detroit Numbers” (Little, Brown and Company, 2019), a New York Times Editors’ Choice and 2020 Michigan Notable Book. The upcoming film adaptation will be produced by Plan B Entertainment and released by Searchlight Pictures.
Felicia B. George is the author of "When Detroit Played the Numbers" (Wayne State University Press, 2024). The book sheds light on the lives of Detroit’s numbers operators - many self-made entrepreneurs who overcame poverty and navigated the pitfalls of racism and capitalism by both legal and illegal means.
The authors joined us for a meet-and-greet, book discussion, Q&A and signing outdoors on The Whitney's patio on July 31, 2014..
