THE PROPHETS VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR: The Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice’s Power Hour!

September 20, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT

“Tune in for the triumphant return of Robert Jones, Jr. aka ‘Son of Baldwin.’ One of our most extraordinary guests returns to further discuss his powerful novel The Prophets and to chop it up about comic books as well!

‘Frustrated by the erasure of Black queer stories from the Western record, Robert wrote the novel he wanted to read but couldn’t find: about enslaved young men in antebellum Mississippi who dare to fall in love,’ as per The New York Times.

‘It’s one of those books that can change the world,’ says Kiese Laymon, ‘He created a new American book.’

Join Robert and our own BRCSJ Chief Activist Robt Seda-Schreiber in another virtual community-buildin’ conversation equally empowerin’ and entertainin.'”
