Launched at Hamline’s Center for Justice Law, ricerootsllc hosted a reading of Juanell’s Chair©, a poignant historical fiction saga about a Black Underground Network as told by a 94 year-old Rondo matriarch. The reviewers wrote:
"We found Juanell’s Chair© a spectacular work with something powerful to say about the past, present, and future of race in our country. We look forward to welcoming back the talented sibling pair Davvie and Vivian Mims to Hamline again come Spring."
Hamline concluded by saying,
"We encourage anyone interested to check out their website at ricerootsllc.com and join them for their next reading at the Walker West Music Academy on January 15th, MLK Day. We extend our sincerest thanks to the Mims and all participants for bringing this project together."
