Ta-Nehisi Coates is an award-winning, uncompromising commentator on race relations, truth, and justice, especially in America.

Author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Between the World and Me, his new book The Message unflinchingly explores race and conflict from South Carolina to Gaza at a pivotal moment. He’ll discuss the urgent need for the West, and particularly America, to free itself from the myths it tells itself, and how pushing for truth is the only way to reckon with injustice.
