On April 15, 2026, we had the distinct honor of hosting acclaimed actor and author Blair Underwood for a special book signing and public debut of his deeply personal memoir, A Soldier’s Wife: My Mother, the Marvelous Mrs. Marilyn A. Underwood.

The evening brought together community members, supporters, and storytellers to celebrate a powerful narrative of legacy, resilience, and family. Guests had the opportunity to connect, reflect, and share in a moment that highlights the importance of preserving personal histories within our cultural institutions.
