For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics, Nov 12

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics

Donna Brasile, Yolanda Caraway, Leah Daughtry, and Minyon Moore

Monday, November 12, 6:30–8 PM

Donna Brazile, Yolanda Caraway, Leah Daughtry, and Minyon Moore are four of the most influential African American women in the United States. Together, they call themselves the Colored Girls. As political strategists, organizers, CEOs, and more, they have made history and shaped politics. Following the midterm elections, the quartet will discuss their book For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics, which touches on their friendship and how it has changed politics in America while offering a roadmap for other women of color with political ambitions. 

Veronica Chambers, who leads the New York Times' archival storytelling team, moderates the discussion. A prolific journalist, editor, and author, she has held senior editorial roles at Newsweek, Glamour, and more, as well as co-written several books including For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics and Yes, Chef with Marcus Samuelsson.

The event is free and open to the public. Please note seating is on a first come basis; an RSVP does not guarantee admission as we generally overbook to ensure a full house.

Following the discussion, the Strand Book Store will sell books and the authors will sign copies.

Located in The Great Hall, in the Foundation Building, 7 East 7th Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues
