In conversation with Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
Co-presented by BAM and Greenlight Bookstore
In association with Haymarket Books
With collaboration from The New York Review of Books
Join Angela Y. Davis for an intimate conversation focused on the new edition of her classic memoir—now featuring a major new introduction. A political activist at the cutting edge of the Black Liberation, feminist, queer, and prison abolitionist movements, Davis gives a powerful and commanding account of her early years in struggle in An Autobiography. First published and edited by Toni Morrison in 1974, it describes her journey from a childhood in Birmingham, Alabama, to one of the most significant political trials of the century, to her work for abolitionist feminism today.
Davis will be in conversation with award-winning scholar and public intellectual Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor.
Standby tickets can be purchased at the box office before the start of the show, if tickets become available.
$15 event only; $40 with signed hardcover copy of An Autobiography
All performances will adhere to protocols developed in accordance with New York State regulations and in consultation with medical professionals for the safety of our artists, audiences, and staff.
