SUMMARY:Bestselling authors of THE PERSONAL LIBRARIAN return with A PAIR OF ACES!
DESCRIPTION:Join Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray\, New York Times bestselling authors of The Personal Librarian and The First Ladies\, as they launch their gripping novel\, A Pair of Aces\, about two trailblazing women on opposite sides of the law—a prosecutor and a madam—who team up to bring down notorious mob boss Lucky Luciano in 1930s New York. \nRegistration is on Eventbrite. A ticket to this program includes a copy of A PAIR OF ACES. \nKING ARTS COMPLEX is Gramercy’s Community Partner for this program. \nEunice Carter\, assistant district attorney for the City of New York and Manhattan’s first Black female prosecutor\, has her sights set on the one and only Lucky Luciano\, head of New York City’s five largest organized crime families. Other prosectors have tried to bring down Lucky\, but they’ve all focused on the crime syndicate’s traditional businesses—bootlegging\, gambling\, loan sharking\, and drug dealing—or tax evasion. No one has thought to approach the mob through its hand in prostitution. Until Eunice. But she can’t get Luciano alone. \nPolly Adler has worked long and hard to build up her high-class brothel business. Her client list is filled with well-known names\, both the famous and the infamous\, who all know her booze is top-notch\, her music first-rate\, her food exquisite\, and her girls the best. But Lucky has gone too far\, putting her girls in danger\, and Polly finally sees the chance to end his reign once and for all. \nTogether\, Eunice and Polly fashion a case utilizing a network of women. Bridging the enormous divide between them and risking their own lives\, they assemble evidence bit by bit\, under the nose of the man they’re trying to convict. It is this very alliance—of two women from vastly different worlds—that launches the most sensational trial New York City has ever seen. \nMarie Benedict is a lawyer with more than ten years of experience as a litigator. A graduate of Boston College and Boston University School of Law\, she is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Daughter of Egypt\, The Queens of Crime\, The Mitford Affair\, Her Hidden Genius\, The Mystery of Mrs. Christie\, Lady Clementine\, The Only Woman in the Room\, Carnegie’s Maid\, and The Other Einstein. She has also coauthored with Victoria Christopher Murray the New York Times bestselling The Personal Librarian\, a Good Morning America book club pick\, and The First Ladies\, Target’s 2023 Book of the Year. All have been translated into multiple languages\, and many have been selected for national book clubs. She lives in Pittsburgh with her family. \nVictoria Christopher Murray is a New York Times bestselling author of more than thirty novels\, including her most recent release Harlem Rhapsody. With Marie Benedict\, she coauthored The Personal Librarian\, a Good Morning America book club pick\, and The First Ladies\, Target’s 2023 Book of the Year. She is an NAACP Image Award Winner for Outstanding Literary Work for her novel Stand Your Ground\, which was also a Library Journal Best Book of the Year. She holds an MBA from the NYU Stern School of Business.

SUMMARY:Citywide Kwanzaa Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This celebration will be hosted by Tawi Family Village.  Kwanzaa is an annual celebration of African American culture which is held from December 26 to January 1\, culminating in gift-giving and a feast of faith. \nKwanzaa is a seven-day\, celebration of family\, culture\, and community. Each day honors a particular African-derived principle\, and the final day culminates in a feast (called Karamu Ya Imani) on New Year’s Day. Each day is counted down on a menorah-like candelabra. \nIt was created by Maulana Karenga and first celebrated in 1966. \nTawi Family Village will have the storyteller come around 10:00 for the Winter Academy and others from the neighborhood.  Tawi Family Village will also provide programming to the community from 1-3:00 and vendors will be setting up around 5:00 and Kwanzaa Opening night will begin at 6:00 pm.
