DESCRIPTION:NEW BOOK TALK: "My Vanishing Country: A Memior" \n\nSPEAKER: Bakari 
 Sellers\nFormer South Carolina House of Representatives 2006–2014 
 \nDemocratic Nominee, South Carolina Lt. Governor 2014\n\nTue, Jun 9 @ 3:00 
 pm PT\n\nBakari Sellers became the youngest elected official in the country 
 at the age of 22 when he won a seat in South Carolina’s House of 
 Representatives. He argues, however, that his journey began long before he 
 was born. \n\nHis family faced many struggles as a part of the South's 
 dwindling rural, black working class—losing access to health care as 
 rural hospitals disappeared; attempting to make ends meet as the factories 
 people relied on shut down and moved overseas; attempting to hold on to 
 precious traditions as towns eroded; and forging a path forward without 
 succumbing to despair—these are all facets of not only his life, but of 
 an entire community’s.\n\nIn "My Vanishing Country", Bakari Sellers tells 
 the story of his father’s rise to become a \ncivil rights hero, a member 
 of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), \nand a role 
 model for his own developing identity as a father to newborn twins. 
 \n\nJoin Sellers at INFORUM, where he will tell his deeply personal story 
 of hope in the face \nof adversity and a history that is reflective of 
 countless families in the American south. This conversation will be 
 moderated by PolicyLink President and CEO Dr. Michael 
 McAfee.\n__________________________________________________________\n\nInterview
