Cleveland Humanities Festival 2023: Wellness

Navigating Family Secrets and Healing Intergenerational Trauma: A Reading and Conversation with Cassandra Lane

Cassandra Lane reads from her memoir

We Are Bridges, followed by a conversation with Dr. Michele Tracy Berger, Director of the Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities. We Are Bridges weaves the story of Lane’s great-grandfather’s lynching with the present day, imagining lives of her greatgrandparents. Her work encapsulates both the brutal inheritances of the past and the hope of Black futures to come.

The Cleveland Humanities Festival is a collaborative event celebrating the great cultural institutions of the city of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio which are dedicated to humanistic inquiry. The 2023 Cleveland Humanities Festival is presented with the generous support of Cuyahoga Arts and Culture.
