 present:\n\nMichael Eric Dyson: A Zoom Event\nLong Time Coming: Reckoning 
 with Race in America \nHosted by Sabrina Jacobs\n\nBuilding on Tears We 
 Cannot Stop, a passionate call to America to finally reckon with race and 
 start the journey to Redemption, Michael Eric Dyson's new book, LONG TIME 
 COMING: Reckoning with Race in America grapples with the cultural and 
 social forces that have shaped our nation in the brutal crucible of race. 
 In five chapters-each addressed to a contemporary martyr from Breonna 
 Taylor to Rev. Clementa Pinckney-Dyson traces the genealogy of 
 antiblackness from the slave ship to the street corner where Floyd lost his 
 life-and where America gained its will to confront the ugly truth of 
 systemic racism. \n\nThe night of May 25, 2020 changed America. George 
 Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was killed during an arrest in Minneapolis 
 when a white cop suffocated him. The video of that night's events went 
 viral, sparking the largest protests in the nation's history and the sort 
 of social unrest we have not seen since the sixties. While Floyd's death 
 was certainly the catalyst, (heightened by the fact that it occurred during 
 a pandemic whose victims were disproportionately of color) it was in truth 
 the fuse that lit a powder keg that has been filling since America's 
 promising but perilous beginning. In LONG TIME COMING, Dyson examines the 
 cultural imperatives of black death, the plague of police brutality, the 
 white theft of black bodies and opportunities.\n\nMICHAEL ERIC DYSON - 
 Distinguished University Professor of African American and Diaspora 
 Studies, College of Arts & Science, and of Ethics and Society, Divinity 
 School, and Centennial Professor at Vanderbilt University- is one of 
 America's premier public intellectuals, and the author of seven New York 
 Times bestsellers.\n\nSABRINA JACOBS is the producer and host of KPFA's 
 popular show "A Rude Awakening."\n\nSuggested Donation $5-$20.\n
