From the venue:
Bancroft award-winning author and professor Tomiko Brown-Nagin will discuss her book, Courage To Dissent: Atlanta and the Long History of the Civil Rights Movement. The book explores the full scope of the civil rights movement in Atlanta, where the civil rights movement was in full swing long before the phrase “black power” hit national news. Brown-Nagin shines a light not only on famous pioneers of the movement, but also the unsung heroes who had the courage to dissent in the dangerous territory that was the American South.
