Autumn Haag, assistant director, Department of Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation at the River Campus Libraries of the University of Rochester, will deliver a lecture on Amy Post and Harriet Jacobs. While the two women came from different worlds, they met, lived, and worked together in Rochester.
