On Thurs., Sept. 6 from 6 to 9 PM, check out Book Talk & Release
– “Worse Than Trump: The American Plantation,” hosted by Leaders of a
Beautiful Struggle at the Langston Hughes Community, Business & Resource
Center, 5011 Arbutus Ave., Baltimore 21215. The book is by Dayvon Love,
director of Public Policy for Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle. He will discuss
his new book with scholar and activist Dr. Jared Ball of Morgan State
University. There will be a book signing afterwards. The book explores the
pitfalls of contemporary activism, Black Nationalism, racism in the Democratic
Party and describes in detail the author's experiences of the Baltimore
Uprising in 2015. He seems to believe that “Black people must begin to look for
freedom beyond the exploitative relationship they have with liberals and the
political Left, and Worse Than Trump provides them with a way to do that.” I
would need a lot more evidence to believe this. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/286094292218369/.
