Victor Luckerson comes home to his native Montgomery for this special bookstore program in connection with the release of his new book, Built from the Fire: The Epic Story of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, America’s Black Wall Street, is a multigenerational saga of a community that in one century survived the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, urban renewal, and gentrification. Jelani Cobb of The New Yorker calls Built from the Fire “an American epic — damning in its implications, inspirational in its theme of perseverance no matter the obstacles, and compelling from its opening paragraph to its final sentence.” Victor Luckerson is among the best journalists covering race matters today, writing for The New Yorker, The New York Times, Wired, and other publications. His first Montgomery appearance since the publication of Built from the Fire is bound to be a fascinating one. Please join us.
