Author at the Library: "Ancient Nubia: African Kingdoms on the Nile," with Chester Higgins Jr., a staff photographer for The New York Times since 1975 and a cultural anthropologist with a camera, who has exhibited in museums throughout the world.

This illustrated lecture attempts to document some of what has recently been discovered about ancient Nubia, with its remarkable history, architecture, and culture, and thereby to give the audience a picture of this rich, but unfamiliar, African legacy.
