ON CONFRONTING A COUNTRY IN TURBULENCE – NONFICTION
This is a free event that requires a ticket for entry.
In Three or More Is a Riot: Notes on How We Got Here: 2012-2025, Jelani Cobb presents a kaleidoscopic portrait of America’s last turbulent decade. Tracing movements around guns, gender violence, sexual harassment, race, policing, and more, he blends narrative journalism, criticism, and profiles to capture the crises, characters, and culture of our era – and help us understand what awaits. In A Thousand Ways to Die: The True Cost of Violence on Black Life in America, Trymaine Lee offers a deeply personal exploration of living as a Black man in the United States. Weaving history, reporting, and memoir, he confronts the toll of racism and violence on his family and community while honoring their strength and resilience, sharing the hard truths and complexities of the Black experience.
Weekend ticketed events are available to Friends of the Fair – who enjoy early access to these programs – exclusively at this time.
