50 years worth of stories, over 50 contributors, almost 150 interviewees, more than 400 pages – “the ROOTS book” (as it has been called through its decade of development) is finally here. And just in time for our 50th anniversary! Stories from Alternate ROOTS: It’ll Take Some Tellin’ can be ordered directly from our publisher at our 🔗LinkinBio, or wherever books are sold! *AND* if you are in Atlanta, you can get a book directly in your hands on Sunday, November 15, 3-5pm at the ArtsXChange! We’ll have an amazing crew of Atlanta ROOTers in the house! Co-editors Yvette Angelique Hyater-Adams and Kathie deNobriga will be reading their work. You’ll sing with Elise Witt and enjoy readings by Alice Lovelace, Normando Ismay, and Ashley Walden. Your Emcee for the afternoon will be Ashlee Haze, and Executive Director Wendy Shenefelt will share some words. The November 15 party is FREE, but we ask you to register ahead of time. When you register, you have the opportunity to purchase your book ahead of time and have it waiting for you! You can also buy books at the event from our partner, Charis Books. Register for the November 15 Book Release Party at our 🔗LinkinBio. (Hit the bottom arrow next to “The ROOTS Book is here!”) This fall the book tour starts, and it will continue alongside our 50th Anniversary celebrations. @yvette_angelique_writer @abovebeyondbully @ashleyminnerjones @newvillagepress
