With the publication of his book-length essay “Between the World and Me”, which won the 2015 National Book Award, Ta-Nehisi Coates became a household name and an important voice in the national conversation about race and racism. He returns to City Arts to discuss his new book of essays, “The Message”, for which he traveled the world to see how it’s changed over the last few years, in the process unpacking some of our most prominent national myths.
