DESCRIPTION:MICHAEL ERIC DYSON !!\n\nPublic lecture (*FREE*) followed by a generous 
 Q&A\n\nMONDAY, MARCH 5th, 6:30 p.m., OAKLAND\n\nEast Bay Church of 
 Religious Science\n4130 Telegraph Avenue\n(near 40th St. & Telegraph 
 Ave)\n\nGET THERE **EARLY** TO FIND PARKING AND SEATING!!\n(in addition to 
 street parking, the church has a nearby parking lot\naround the south 
 corner, but get there early to find nearby spaces!)\n\nDyson is a very 
 dynamic lecturer and to hear him at his *very best* you need to hear him at 
 a Black venue, where his very lively lecture style is part professorial 
 multisyllabic academese, layered with plenty of part rousing Black preacher 
 style, and seasoned with part socioconscious hiphop verses. And Black folks 
 don't sit with starched collars, straight up, on their hands, with their 
 mouths quietly shut, in sterile silence, when they hear a Dyson lecture. No 
 one is *ever* sorry that they attended a Dyson lecture. You *won't* fall 
 asleep!\n\n\n_DEBATING RACE_\n\nOnce again, the “hip-hop intellectual” 
 champions issues plaguing the disenfranchised. With topics ranging from 
 Civil Rights, the legacy of the O.J. Simpson trial, and the authenticity of 
 Colin Powell, there is something in _Debating Race_ to touch a nerve in all 
 of us.\n\nDyson - sometimes called the "hip-hop intellectual" - is no 
 stranger to controversy over racial issues. Dyson's unique scholarship, 
 which he terms "bio-criticism," fuses cultural and social criticism with 
 biography that offers a different perspective to the rhetoric around race. 
 Dyson has taken on everyone from Ann Coulter to Bill O'Reilly and Bill 
 Cosby. Don't miss this opportunity to hear one of America's most innovative 
 intellectuals.\n\nDr. Michael Eric Dyson is the author of Come Hell or High 
 Water, Is Bill Cosby Right?, The Michael Eric Dyson Reader, Open Mike; 
 Holler If You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur; Why I Love Black Women; 
 I May Not Get There With You: The True Martin Luther King, Jr.; Race Rules: 
 Navigating the Color Line; Between God and Gangsta Rap; Making Malcolm: The 
 Myth and Meaning of Malcolm X; and Reflecting Black. \n\nDyson is the 
 Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities at the University of 
 Pennsylvania and lives in 
 Philadelphia.\n\n\nhttp://www.michaelericdyson.com\n\nhttp://amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/103-7328196-5922265?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=michael+eric+dyson\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Debating-Race-Michael-Eric-Dyson/dp/0465002064/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-6269570-2666539?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1173069803&sr=1-1\n\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAnd 
 from the last time Dyson was lecturing in town back in 2005:\n\n"When 
 lower-class blacks took a hit from Bill Cosby, author Dyson came out 
 swinging in their defense"\n\nSan Francisco Chronicle\nTuesday, June 7, 
 2005\n\nhttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/06/07/DDGQ0D3HF91.DTL\n\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nOther 
 scheduled Bay Area appearance:\n\nTuesday, March 6\n12:00 PM\nThe 
 Commonwealth Club of California\n595 Market Street, 2nd Floor\nSan 
 Francisco, CA 94105\n415-597-6700\nWebsite:

 $15)\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n(Don't 
 know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised perhaps to hear Dyson on 
 KPFA-FM, 94.1fm, "The Morning Show", in one of their half-hour segments 
 between 7am-9am, or perhaps on KPFA's Hard Knock Radio, between 4pm-5pm.)\n
