Events › Author Voices: Thulani Davis

Join us online for a discussion with Thulani Davis, librettist of X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X, as she discusses her recent book The Emancipation Circuit. Honored with the 2023 Museum of African American History Stone Book Award, this book reveals how the political organizations and networks that slavery survivors formed during Reconstruction laid the foundation for the first mass Black political movement for equal citizenship in the United States.

Joining her in this conversation from Tagney Jones Hall: The Opera Center, will be Bianca Dang, Assistant Professor of History at the University of Washington.

Thulani Davis also wrote My Confederate Kinfolk, 1959, Maker of Saints and Playing the Changes.

In partnership with the Seattle Opera.
