 #UNBOUND of the Bay Area Book Festival \n\nDate & Time: Saturday, October 3

 https://www.baybookfest.org/berkeleyunbound/schedule/#!event-register/2020/10/3/berkeley-unbound-kickoff\n\nIt’s 
 2020, the year of all hell breaking loose—so why not let it break loose 
 in friendly (and hilarious) company? \n\nGood friends and headline-makers 
 W. Kamau Bell, an Emmy-winner for CNN’s United Shades of America (Robin 
 Williams called him “ferociously funny”), and Steve Kerr, outspoken 
 head coach of the three-time NBA champs Golden State Warriors, are teaming 
 up to raise the good kind of hell, talking all things race, power, dissent, 
 the intersection of sports and activism, and comedy as coping mechanism and 
 vehicle for truth. \n\nIn a free-wheeling conversation refereed by yet a 
 third friend of theirs, Dacher Keltner, founding director of UC 
 Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, the comedian and the coach will 
 hold nothing back, and you’ve got (virtual) courtside seats. Berkeley 
 might have been famous in the 1960s for its free speech movement, but this 
 21st century version—as uncensored and envelope-pushing as 2020 
 demands—might just teach us new ways of speaking truth to power. 
 \n\nLaugh, cheer, reflect, and get fired up (and maybe a little out of 
 bounds) with this totally unique conversation, only in Berkeley 
 #UNBOUND.\n\nFEATURING:\n\nW. Kamau Bell\nSociopolitical comedian W. Kamau 
 Bell is the host and executive producer of the Emmy Award-winning CNN 
 docuseries United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell. His Netflix 
 special, Private School Negro, was praised by TIME for “finding the comic 
 absurdity in darkness,” and he is the author of The Awkward Thoughts of 
 W. Kamau Bell: Tales of a 6’4”, African American, Heterosexual, 
 Cisgender, Left-Leaning, Asthmatic, Black and Proud Blerd, Mama’s Boy, 
 Dad, and Stand-Up Comedian. Full bio.\n\nSteve Kerr \nCurrently in his 
 sixth season as head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr has 
 guided the club through four of the most prolific seasons in NBA history, 
 with a list of accomplishments that includes three NBA championships and 
 four of the five most victorious seasons in franchise history. He is also 
 the first to win three NBA titles as a player and three as a coach. He’s 
 also an outspoken activist for racial justice who the Guardian has called 
 “an essential voice of reason in a world in which reason dies on cable 
 news,” a vocal supporter of Black Lives Matter, a proponent of gun 
 control, and a persistent thorn in the President’s side. Full 
 bio.\n\nDacher Keltner\nA professor of psychology at UC Berkeley and 
 faculty director of the Greater Good Science Center, Dacher Keltner has 
 consulted for the Center for Constitutional Rights to help end solitary 
 confinement, as well as for Google, Facebook, the Sierra Club, and 
 Pixar’s blockbuster film Inside Out. He is the co-author of Born to Be 
 Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life, The Compassionate Instinct, and The 
 Power Paradox: How We Gain and Lose Influence. Full 
 bio.\n_____________________________________________________________\n\nABOUT:
