FOUR HUNDRED SOULS VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR: LIVE from NYPL
February 9, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST
Four Hundred Souls is a unique one-volume “community” history of African Americans. Join the editors Dr. Ibram X. Kendi and Dr. Keisha Blain alongside contributors Robert Jones, Jr. , Bernice L. McFadden, Dr. Blair L.M. Kelley for readings from the collection and a discussion on what it takes to develop a community history, by a community.
Ibram X. Kendi along with co-editor, award-winning historian Keisha N. Blain, assembled 90 writers to consider the 400-year journey of African Americans from 1619 to the present. Each member of the “community choir,” as Kendi calls it—“women and men, cisgender and transgender, younger and older, straight and queer, dark-skinned and light-skinned”—takes on a five-year period, examining it from their unique point of view and set of experiences.
Produced in partnership with LIVE from NYPL.
