SOLD OUT! Lit Center Presents: Breakfast with Condoleezza Rice at AHC

Spend the morning at the Atlanta History Center for a special breakfast program with one of the most influential women of our time, Condoleezza Rice, as she shares stories from her new memoir, Extraordinary, Ordinary People: A Memoir of Family.  Rice recounts growing up in Birmingham in the 1960s, during the turbulent civil rights era and how her parents’ love and support encouraged her not to set limits on what she could achieve.  As comfortable describing lighthearted family moments as she is recalling the poignancy of her mother’s battle with cancer and the heady challenge of going toe-to-toe with Soviet leaders, Rice holds nothing back in this candid account.  This is the story of Condoleezza Rice that has never been told – not that of an accomplished world leader, but of a little girl and a young woman trying to find her place in a sometimes hostile world, and of two exceptional parents and an extended family and community that made all the difference.

Condoleezza Rice was the sixty-sixth United States Secretary of State and the first black woman to hold the office.  Prior, she was the first woman to serve as National Security Advisor.  She currently teaches at Stanford University.
