We last welcomed ibramxk to Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures in 2019 to discuss his best-selling book, How to Be An Antiracist. On March 9, we're thrilled to have this talented author back in Pittsburgh, in conversation with Valerie Kinloch, to share something very different - a story for the very youngest readers about the origin of butterflies. The Making of Butterflies is a stunning and layered African American folktale from Zora Neale Hurston, retold by Ibram X. Kendi and illustrated by Kah Yangni. This accessible and sizable board book is is the perfect introduction to the beauty of Hurston’s storytelling & will spark curiosity in children about how things in our world came to be. Join us at the carnegielibrary Lecture Hall or online on Thursday, March 9! Tickets are available on our website.
