Ta-Nehisi Coates

 Our guest today is Ta-Nehisi Coates, an outspoken voice on issues of race and racism.  Coates was catapulted to fame after the publication of his book-length essay “Between the World and Me”.  His new book, “The Message”, features essays that intertwine his first trip to Africa, the banning of his books in South Carolina, and his experiences traveling to Palestine.  On October 23, 2024, Coates came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco for an on-stage conversation with Daniel Sokatch, CEO of the New Israel Fund, an organization committed to equal justice for all inhabitants of Israel.
