About this Event

Black Lit Book Group with Micah
Co-hosted by Greenlight bookseller Dante
Discussing They Can't K*ll Us Until They K*ll Us by Hanif Abdurraqib
Led by Greenlight bookseller Micah, with special appearances from fellow Greenlight booksellers, our Black Lit Book Group meets monthly to amplify the works of past and present Black voices of all genres. All reading frequencies are welcome!

For February, the group discusses the instant cultural sensation, They Can't K*ll Us Until They K*ll Us, by poet, essayist, and cultural critic Hanif Abdurraqib. Described as “a collection of death-defying protest songs for the Black Lives Matter era", They Can't K*ll Us Until They K*ll Us is a searing, unforgettable anthology, in which Abdurraqib reflects on everything from Chance The Rapper and Nina Simone to Allen Iverson and Serena Williams, from summer crushes to the thrill of common joys in children. In his thoughtful consideration of music, culture, and daily life as a lens through which to view our world—heralded by critics as “one of the most essential voices of his generation"—Abdurraqib proves himself a bellwether for our times!
