Program Description
Event Details
Discussion
Talk about a topic with community members and experts.
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.

Fill out this form to RSVP, receive updates and discussion questions, and to request a free copy for pick up. Copies of The Message are also available to borrow from Lincoln Library.
