There’s a screening of The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till, followed by a discussion with the filmmakers; a conversation with authors Sapphire (Push), Patrick Phillips (Blood at the Root) and Major Jackson (Hoops) entitled “Race in America”; a staged reading of the play Little Rock; and a discussion and book signing by Ed Henry, author of 42 Faith: The Rest of the Jackie Robinson Story. All events are ticketed and the play reading is free; for details visit the Sheen Center’s website.
