Reposted from @lynneedenise Final stop in the US will be soulful as hell. Having a conversation about this book across the street from where James Baldwin and Sammy Davis Jr. were born (Harlem Hospital ) is no small thing, but to be in conversation with two of the greatest musical, literary, theatrical, and cinematic minds in my generation @tamar_kali and @saulwilliams is beyond exciting…
Pairing them to discuss this book promises an evening of border crossing references, fresh ideas, and improvisational jazz like exchanges on the life of Willie Mae Thornton. This is what this woman deserves, critical attention on her legacy.
Register at @schomburglive and @schomburgcenter Schomburg for free tickets (registration closing soon)…meet us at 6:30pm tomorrow, October 3! Soon come.
