A little overdue love for Atlanta and another great stop on the From Presence to Power book tour! I’ve spent years coming to ATL for work, organizing, and building power, so it was great to be back connecting with old friends, meeting new folks, and talking about the work ahead. Big thanks to @chasinggarza and @emarvelous for hosting us at the @aarl_atl, and to @michaelharriot for such a lively and thoughtful conversation about power, politics, and what it’s going to take to build and win in this moment. Michael came ready! He dug deep into the book and drew on his years of reporting on my work to bring some great questions and perspective to the conversation. Appreciate everyone who came through, asked questions, picked up a book, and spent part of their evening with us. And a special thanks to @FairandPeters for hosting the after-party and giving us more time to connect, laugh, and catch up. Atlanta, until next time!

In this photograph, Rev. Wheeler Parker Jr. holds a finished copy of “If Emmett Till Lived” for the first time, captured by photographer and cousin of Emmett Till, Lance Omar Thurman @lanceomar. Published by @delmonico_books and @mocpchi, distributed by @artbook, and designed by @mikomcginty, “If Emmett Till Lived: A Creative Monument” offers a photographic reimagining of Emmett Till’s life had it not been cut short. Bringing together nearly 200 photographs and contributions from civic and cultural leaders such as Lonnie G. Bunch III, Sherrilyn Ifill, and Paul M. Farber, as well as Ava DuVernay, John Legend, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, and Amy Sherald, the book imagines the life Till might have lived had he returned home in 1955, rather than being murdered at the age of 14 while visiting family in Mississippi, a victim of the racial terror of Jim Crow rule. #IfEmmettTillLived
