Join author Pam Kelley and others in conversation about North Carolina Humanities's North Carolina Reads April book selection, "Money Rock: A Family’s Story of Cocaine, Race, and Ambition in the New South." The book tells the story of a striving African American family in Charlotte, swept up and transformed by the 1980s cocaine epidemic. The panel will discuss themes from the book including racism, segregation, the War on Drugs and mass incarceration.

An hour-long, pre-event reception and book signing begins at 6:00 p.m.; light food and beverage will be served. The program begins at 7:00 p.m. and will end with an audience Q+A.

Can't make it in person? The event will be live streamed on the North Carolina Humanities YouTube channel starting at 7:00 p.m. Visit: youtube.com/NCHumanities_ (Those watching on YouTube do not need to register.)
