After 50 years on the front lines of the fight for equality and freedom, Angela Davis remains one of the world’s most important voices for justice. Hilton Als sits down with the influential legendary activist at a celebration in support of Marcus Books, the nation’s oldest Black-Owned bookstore.
A staff writer at The New Yorker since 1994, cultural critic Hilton Als writes about everything from queer identities in Barbados to the life of Richard Pryor. His best-selling collection of essays, White Girls, was published in 2013, and he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 2017. Since then, he has become a more visible public intellectual, drawing more readers through his “insightful and deep-thinking approach [which] gives him access to the emotionally resonant and profound” (Dazed).
Tickets include a copy of Davis’ new book, Abolition, Politics, Practices, Promises (Vol I).
