About the Event:

Journalist Jonathan Capehart is one of the most recognizable faces in cable news. Join us as the award-winning writer, editor, and TV host takes us on his journey from learning to embrace his identity as a gay, Black man; to his decision to come out to his family; and finally his move to New York City, where time and again he stumbles and picks himself up as he blazes a path to become the familiar face in news we know today. 

A book signing will follow this program.
