Description

We are honored to host this signing/book discussion around the new release from Evening Post Books: Ukweli: Searching for Healing Truth We are honored to host this signing and book discussion around the brand new release from Charleston’s own Evening Post Books: Ukweli: Searching for Healing Truth. You’ll meet Summerville’s own Herb Frazier as well as contributing authors from the project, and we plan to engage in a substantive discussion… don’t miss this one, folks. Ukweli is the Swahili word for truth. This book meets this moment in America as a healing truth to overcome the trauma of slavery and the decades of violence that followed it. The personal accounts and insights from forty-five writers and poets will educate White Americans about the systematic racial bias employed to stymie African American progress. Ukweli provides insight into the struggles Black people have faced as they’ve made substantial contributions to America, and helped to define its soul. It shows a part of American history often overlooked or misunderstood. Inspired by a poetry, lecture, and dialogue series of the same name organized by poet Horace Mungin in 2020 at Charleston’s McLeod Plantation, Evening Post Books released Ukweli in February 2022. This is an open signing, followed by limited seating discussion.
