One World IdeasxAction Ta-Nehisi Coates and Heather McGhee

Hello - Over 500 people were on this zoom call, so when I tried to get in I couldn't - I asked for the youtube and here it is!!

Thank you all for registering for One World Ideas x Action with Ta-Nehisi Coates and Heather McGhee in conversation with One World Editor-in-Chief, Chris Jackson. We loved the chance to partner with our friends from the Apollo Theater and gather in (virtual) community to share ideas and important questions at such a challenging moment. It was a powerful conversation that touched on structural inequalities, the confederate flag, and the power of comic books in times of crisis.

If you were unable to join us live for the event, we would love to direct you to the evening's program now up on YouTube: https://youtu.be/vc1tqXzJ_YM

If you are interested in purchasing any of the books from last night’s conversation, links are below:

· THE WATER DANCER by Ta-Nehisi Coates

· Pre-order THE SUM OF US by Heather McGhee

· BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME by Ta-Nehisi Coates

· WE WERE EIGHT YEARS IN POWER by Ta-Nehisi Coates

· THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE by Ta-Nehisi Coates



Listen to Heather McGhee’s Ted Talk about inequality and its effects – it’s brilliant and summarizes the research and reporting she explores at greater depth in her forthcoming book.



At a recent event with One World authors Mira Jacob, Kevin Nguyen and Cathy Park Hong, an attendee named Kimberly started a google document to capture all of the book suggestions that were coming up in the chat. With a hat tip to her, we've made one for this conversation and would love for you to share favorite reads and organizations that are doing essential work in this time.
