If youโre in Washington, D.C. this weekend, I encourage you to join us tomorrow at Barnes & Noble Georgetown for a special conversation and book signing with John Wrory Ficklin, author of "An Unusual Path: Three Generations from Slavery to the White House." For generations, the Ficklin family helped shape life inside the White House, serving presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt through Barack Obama.
