Join Shirley Sherron at the Schomburg Center on September 12th at 6:30 as she discusses her new book The Courage to Hope (written with Catherine Whitney).
“Sherrod sets the record straight on her forced resignation from the Department of Agriculture in 2010. An inspiring memoir about the real power of courage and hope.” –Kirkus Reviews
She’ll be in dialogue with journalist Esther Armah.
Sherrod became a household name in 2010 when the National Media labeled her a reverse racist. She was accused of discriminating against white farmers; condemned by the NAACP, the Tea Party, the Obama administration, CNN, Fox, and a whole host of news outlets–and ultimately forced to resign.
