SUMMARY:You’re Invited: A Conversation with Michael Harriot and Jarvis Deberry
DESCRIPTION:This event is a must-attend for professionals in journalism\, social change\, and advocacy for a free press because of their profound impact on how we understand and engage with critical societal issues. Michael Harriot\, known for his incisive and often humorous commentary on race\, politics\, and culture\, has carved out a niche as a powerful voice in modern journalism. His work at The Root and his popular social media presence have shed light on systemic injustices and sparked meaningful conversations. Jarvis DeBerry\, an award-winning journalist and former \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ncolumnist for The Times-Picayune\, brings a wealth of experience in tackling issues related to civil rights\, social justice\, and the importance of a free and independent press. Together\, their combined expertise and perspectives will offer invaluable insights into the current state of media and its role in shaping public discourse. \nAttendees can expect a discussion that is not only insightful and thought-provoking but also deeply inspiring. Michael and Jarvis’s ability to analyze and articulate complex issues with clarity and passion makes their conversation a rich learning experience for anyone committed to social change. Their dialogue will likely address the challenges faced by journalists in today’s media landscape\, the importance of maintaining journalistic integrity\, and the role of the press in advocating for marginalized communities. By attending this event\, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the power of journalism in driving social change and the critical need to support and protect a free press in our society. \nAbout Speakers: \nMichael Harriot is a renowned journalist\, cultural critic\, and author known for his incisive commentary on race\, politics\, and culture. His work has appeared in prominent publications such as The Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, and The Guardian. Michael’s unique ability to translate complex racial issues into accessible and often humorous narratives has made him a leading voice in contemporary journalism. His book\, Black AF History\, offers a fresh perspective on American history through a Black-centered lens\, challenging the traditional narratives that have long dominated the discourse. \nJarvis DeBerry is a celebrated journalist who spent over two decades at The Times-Picayune in New Orleans\, where he earned a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for his coverage of Hurricane Katrina. His powerful editorials and columns have addressed critical issues such as social justice\, race\, and the aftermath of natural disasters. Jarvis’s work has been recognized with numerous awards\, including the National Association of Black Journalists’ Salute to Excellence Award \nBook Description: \nNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * NAACP IMAGE AWARD NOMINEE * AMAZON’S TOP 20 HISTORY BOOKS OF 2023 * B&N BEST OF EDUCATIONAL HISTORY * THE ROOT’S BEST BOOKS OF 2023 * CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2023 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom acclaimed columnist and political commentator Michael Harriot\, a searingly smart and bitingly hilarious retelling of American history that corrects the record and showcases the perspectives and experiences of Black Americans. \nAmerica’s backstory is a whitewashed mythology implanted in our collective memory. It is the story of the pilgrims on the Mayflower building a new nation. It is George Washington’s cherry tree and Abraham Lincoln’s log cabin. It is the fantastic tale of slaves that spontaneously teleported themselves here with nothing but strong backs and negro spirituals. It is a sugarcoated legend based on an almost true story. \nIt should come as no surprise that the dominant narrative of American history is blighted with errors and oversights–after all\, history books were written by white men with their perspectives at the forefront. It could even be said that the devaluation and erasure of the Black experience is as American as apple pie. \nIn Black AF History\, Michael Harriot presents a more accurate version of American history. Combining unapologetically provocative storytelling with meticulous research based on primary sources as well as the work of pioneering Black historians\, scholars\, and journalists\, Harriot removes the white sugarcoating from the American story\, placing Black people squarely at the center. With incisive wit\, Harriot speaks hilarious truth to oppressive power\, subverting conventional historical narratives with little-known stories about the experiences of Black Americans. From the African Americans who arrived before 1619 to the unenslavable bandit who inspired America’s first police force\, this long overdue corrective provides a revealing look into our past that is as urgent as it is necessary. For too long\, we have refused to acknowledge that American history is white history. Not this one. This history is Black AF. \nEvent Details: \nAddress: 2601 Gentilly Blvd\, New Orleans\, LA 70122\nParking:\nTicket Details >> \nSecurity: Four (4) professional security guards will be on-site (Provided by Baldwin & Co.)

This collection is an extraordinary update to an ongoing project of vital truth-telling.”–Esquire \nNOW AN EMMY-WINNING HULU ORIGINAL DOCUSERIES – FINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE – ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post\, NPR\, Esquire\, Marie Claire\, Electric Lit\, Ms. magazine\, Kirkus Reviews\, Booklist \nIn late August 1619\, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty enslaved people from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years. This is sometimes referred to as the country’s original sin\, but it is more than that: It is the source of so much that still defines the United States. \nThe New York Times Magazine’s award-winning 1619 Project issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This book substantially expands on that work\, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression\, struggle\, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society\, from politics\, music\, diet\, traffic\, and citizenship to capitalism\, religion\, and our democracy itself. \nThis book speaks directly to our current moment\, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation’s founding and construction–and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation\, but continues to shape contemporary American life. \nEvent Details:\nAddress: 2601 Gentilly Blvd\, New Orleans\, LA 70122 \nTicket Information >> \nSecurity: Six (6) professional security guards will be on-site (Provided by Baldwin & Co.)
