Join us in welcoming civil rights attorney and author Michelle Coles to our virtual stage! In this event, Michelle will discuss her debut young adult novel, BLACK WAS THE INK, about sixteen-year-old Malcolm who is sent on a journey through Reconstruction-era America to find his place in modern-day Black progress. Perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Nic Stone, and featuring illustrations by upcoming artist, Justin Johnson, Black Was the Ink is a powerful coming-of-age story and an eye-opening exploration of an era that defined modern America. This event is prefect for ages 13-17 and students, parents, and educators are invited to attend. If you're an educator and would like to broadcast this event to your classroom, please reach out to Lynda O'Brien at lynda@anunlikelystory.com by January 3rd for guidelines.
