Writers & Readers: Award-Winning Authors Promote Civic Engagement during Candid Conversation

There are many ways to make a positive change in the community.  Cleveland Public Library is helping facilitate change with our thought-provoking author series, Writers & Readers.

The next candid conversation on the Importance of Civic Education and Engagement will include two award-winning authors:

• TIME Magazine columnist and MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude, Jr. who wrote Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and its Urgent Lessons for Our Own and Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul.
• Award-winning poet, young adult novelist, and cookbook author Caroline Randall Williams. Her work includes The Diary of B.B. Bright, Possible Princess, and Soul Food Love.   

Continue the conversation at a workshop on Wednesday, April 21 at 4:30 p.m. with Marianne Crosley and Rachel Ciomcia of the Cleveland Leadership Center. They will offer tools to help us engage in meaningful change and build an appreciation for civic education as a foundation for life.

Registration is required for both virtual events. Interested participants can register at cpl.org/writersreaders21.
