INFO

In The Message, Ta-Nehisi Coates reflects on his travels to Senegal, South Carolina, and Palestine and the power of storytelling. Panelists will consider race, literature, media & politics. We then invite the audience members to discuss the book as we consider the importance of speaking out, especially when power tries to silence truth-tellers.

A limited number of free copies of The Message will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
