NYC Book Launch: How to Be a (Young) Antiracist with Ibram X. Kendi & Nic Stone

Word Up Community Bookshop/Librería Comunitaria and the United Palace of Cultural Arts are proud to present bestselling authors Ibram X. Kendi and Nic Stone to celebrate the launch of their latest book for young adults. How to Be a (Young) Antiracist will serve as a guide for teens seeking a way forward in acknowledging, identifying, and dismantling racism and injustice.

Aimed at readers 12 and up, the book is a dynamic reframing of the concepts shared in the #1 New York Times–bestselling adult version How to Be an Antiracist (out in paperback the same day), with young adulthood front and center.

This exciting evening, held at the United Palace in Washington Heights NYC, will feature a conversation between Dr. Kendi and Nic Stone. An audience Q&A will follow. Simultaneous interpretation into Spanish will be available.
