The first Wednesday of each month, the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies presents “Legacies and Lunch.”  This month features legendary newsman Roy Reed.

A native Arkansan who became a reporter for the New York Times, Reed begins his memoir with tales of his formative years growing up in Arkansas and the start of his writing career at the legendary Arkansas Gazette. The book Beware of Limbo Dancers will be for sale at the event, and the author will sign copies after the lecture.

The program will take place from 12noon to 1pm at the Darragh Center on the main campus of the Central Arkansas Library System.

The monthly Legacies & Lunch program is sponsored in part by the Arkansas Humanities Council. Bring a sack lunch; drinks and dessert are provided.
