MICHAEL ERIC DYSON

Presented by Anderson's Bookshops at North Central College - Wentz Concert Hall

Almost daily, the news offers examples of our nation’s ongoing struggles regarding race. In fact that conflict, “our unfinished conversation,” is part of the subtitle of Michael Eric Dyson’s new book, What Truth Sounds Like. This important new book releases on Tuesday, June 5, the 50th anniversary of Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination, and Dyson, influential author and renowned voice on our fractured racial structure, will visit Naperville to share his latest title. What Truth Sounds Like: Robert F. Kennedy, James Baldwin, and our Unfinished Conversation About Race in America focuses on a specific moment in history, when Kennedy met with Baldwin and others in the spring of 1963 to discuss the state of race in America. Those topics reverberate to this day and Dyson examines what today’s leading voices have to say in our contemporary view.
