SUMMARY:Book Signing / Talk: Ukweli: Searching for Healing Truth
DESCRIPTION:We are honored to host this signing and book discussion around the brand new release from Charleston’s own Evening Post Books: Ukweli: Searching for Healing Truth. \nYou’ll get to meet Summerville’s own Herb Frazier as well as contributing authors from the project\, and we plan to engage in a substantive discussion… don’t miss this one\, folks. \nUkweli is the Swahili word for truth. This book meets this moment in America as a healing truth to overcome the trauma of slavery and the decades of violence that followed it. The personal accounts and insights from forty-five writers and poets will educate White Americans about the systematic racial bias employed to stymie African American progress. \nUkweli provides insight into the struggles Black people have faced as they’ve made substantial contributions to America\, and helped to define its soul. It shows a part of American history often overlooked or misunderstood. Inspired by a poetry\, lecture\, and dialogue series of the same name organized by poet Horace Mungin in 2020 at Charleston’s McLeod Plantation\, Evening Post Books released Ukweli in February 2022. \nFollowing the signing from 3-4\, we’ll have an open discussion (refreshments served). This is a limited seating event – the link to register is https://www.eventbrite.com/e/book-signing-talk-ukweli-searching-for-healing-truth-tickets-312465762507 \nHerb Frazier is special projects editor at the Charleston City Paper\, a weekly newspaper in his hometown. He’s an author and the former marketing director at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens in Charleston. He has edited and reported for five daily newspapers in the South. When he was on the staff of The Post and Courier in Charleston he was named the S.C. Press Association’s 1990 Journalist of the Year.
