Book Talk and Celebration for Ibram X. Kendi
Thursday, February 1, 5:00pm -- 7:00pm
The Charles H Wright Museum of African American History
315 E Warren Avenue, Detroit, MI

The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History kicks off its Black History Month Program on Thursday, February 1, 5-7pm, with the #1 New York Times bestselling author and scholar Ibram X. Kendi as he discusses his adaptation of Zora Neale Hurston's Barracoon for young readers with Neil A. Barclay, President/CEO, The Wright Museum. This adaptation gives young readers a well-done introduction to the true-life story of Cudjo Lewis, one of the last-known survivors of the Atlantic slave trade, who was abducted from Africa on the last "Black Cargo" ship to arrive in the United States.
