View source for Angela Flournoy, Marcus Guillory, & Margo Jefferson: Class in the Black Community (2017)

This event happened on March 6th 2017 at the Folger Shakespeare Library 

'''Margo Jefferson'''’s memoir ''Negroland'' is a meditation on race, sex, and American culture through the privileged prism of Chicago’s Black elite. '''Angela Flournoy’s''' novel ''The Turner House'' tells a multi-generational saga through the decline of Detroit’s East Side. '''Marcus Guillory’s''' ''Red Now and Laters'' gives us a coming-of-age story set in the Creole and cowboy-infused East Texas of the 1980s. These authors write on race and class, privilege and oppression and offer stories—both funny and heartbreaking—that are caught at the intersection.
