About this event
Morrell Meeting Room. Join us to hear from Bob Greene, retired journalist, and advisor and contributor to Maine’s Visible Black History: The First Chronicle of Its People. A native of Portland, Maine, Bob Greene is at least the eighth generation of his family to be born in Cumberland County, Maine and can trace his genealogy to a wedding in New Gloucester in 1783. After majoring in journalism at the University of Kansas, Bob eventually joined The Associated Press where he covered the funeral of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and riots in the Midwest. Later, as The AP’s tennis writer, Bob traveled the world following the sport. When he retired, he returned home to Maine where his genealogical search for his family led him to study the state’s history. He currently teaches a “Black History of Maine” course at the University of Southern Maine while continuing his dedicated search for the world’s finest wine.
