Monday, May 3, 7:30 PMGreenlight Bookstore and Pratt Area Community Council present
Pete Beveridge, author of Domestic Diversity and Other Subversive Activities
In 1954, white Harvard graduate Pete Beveridge, already on the government's radar as a suspected Communist, married an African American woman from Harlem. His wife, Hortense 'Tee' Beveridge*, was one of the early founders of the Pratt Area Community Council and a beloved fixture in Fort Greene until her death. Pete tells the story of their life together and of an era of profound change in his book Domestic Diversity and Other Subversive Activities. PACC and Greenlight host a reading and reception for Pete this evening; join us to discuss changes in racial attitudes in the last 60 years and to pay homage to Fort Greene’s own Tee Beveridge.
