About this Event
In his first public interview, acclaimed journalist Wil Haygood will speak with UBalt Law Dean LaVonda Reed to discuss The War Within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at Home, a timely exploration of the racial strife that dominated so much of life during the Vietnam era, and is still prevalent today.
Book Discussion with Q and A: 12- 1 p.m.
Book Signing: 1 - 2 p.m.
ABOUT THE BOOK: Award-winning author and journalist Wil Haygood explores how the Vietnam War became a mirror for the struggle of Black Americans—fighting for freedom abroad while demanding equality at home—and a powerful lens through which to understand the racial and political divides that continue to shape American life.
Drawing on the lives of soldiers and officers, doctors and nurses, journalists and activists, artists and politicians, Haygood illuminates a generation caught between two battles: one on the front lines in Vietnam and another for justice and dignity in America.
The War Within a War is both sweeping history and intimate revelation, capturing the tragedies and triumphs, the honor and hypocrisies, the courage and cowardice that shaped an era and whose repercussions resonate today.
