Kwame Alexander in conversation with Sheryl Davis of the SF Human Rights Commission

Shine some light in the world. Join award-winning author Kwame Alexander and Sheryl E. Davis for an in-depth conversation on race and hope.

 From NPR correspondent and New York Times bestselling author, Kwame Alexander, comes a powerful and provocative collection of poems that cut to the heart of the entrenched racism and oppression in America and eloquently explores ongoing events. A book in the tradition of James Baldwin’s “A Report from Occupied Territory,” Light for the World to See is a rap session on race. A lyrical response to the struggles of Black lives in our world...to America’s crisis of conscience...to the centuries of loss, endless resilience and unstoppable hope. During the conversation, Alexander will also read a poem from Light for the World to See.
