State Treasurer Tobias Read will talk with CNN Political Commentator and Author Bakari Sellers about his new memoir, "My Vanishing Country.” Register here.
At 22, Bakari was the youngest African American ever to hold office in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 2006-2014. Now usually seen on CNN pushing back against President Trump’s lies, he’s written a new memoir book titled “My Vanishing Country” which serves as an introspective look at working-class African American families in the rural South.
Our outrage and concern need to be channeled into real commitment to listening with conscience and unwavering dedication to systemic change to put meaning back into the idea of justice for all. I hope this discussion serves as a useful engagement for us to build from as we all look for ways to get involved and enact meaningful change.
