A Night of Insight: Ta-Nehisi Coates Introduces 'The Message' at Harlem's Apollo Theater - Ebony
On Tuesday, the long line snaking across Harlem’s 125th Street leading to the world-famous Apollo Theater might make passersby think Travis Scott hit New York City for the night. Upon closer inspection, the sold-out crowd was cued up for a night of ideas over beats and rhymes. Author-intellectual Ta-Nehisi Coates just released his fifth book, The Message: a thinking man’s travelogue through South Carolina, Senegal and Israel in search of embracing some difficult truths.
