I was a weird kid. I was obsessed with this miniseries when it premiered on February 14, 1993. It featured a 26 year old Halle Berry before she became a huge star. I then spent that summer lugging a hardback copy of "Roots" and then, this book, to the city pool every day to read instead of swim. Haha. #maybookflowers #startswithq #weirdkid #priorities

ValerieAndBooks I have the same book you have (black/white spine). I've seen some of her exhibits in the past and was very excited to finally visit The Dinner Party in Brooklyn a couple years ago 😊! 8y
ValerieAndBooks And one called Embroidering our Heritage, which is also about The Dinner Party. I also have 8y
Betty @ValerieAndBooks I'd love to go to Brooklyn to see the exhibit. 8y
ValerieAndBooks I hope you do someday 👍! As you probably know, it's now a permanent part of the Brooklyn Museum. 8y
