Stokes Book Launch

Stokes Book Launch

Join us on Saturday, October 5 from 3-5PM at Sojourner Truth Academy for this exciting book launch! Stokes is a story of talent, bravery, resilience, and the power of community. Named a Junior Library Guild selection, Stokes is already garnering early praise and recognition.

📚 About the Book:
In this informative and inspiring book, coauthors and basketball enthusiasts John Coy and Ty Chapman highlight Maurice Stokes, a trailblazing athlete whose career was tragically cut short by injury. Despite his lesser-known status, Stokes opened doors for Black athletes and brought attention to the need for support for injured players.

🌟 Exclusive Offer for Attendees:

Bring your little ones along for a family-friendly experience. After the book reading and Q&A, there will be the opportunity for kids of all ages play basketball and feel like an NBA star!
