Join us for a virtual book talk with Mayor Steven Reed, first Black Mayor of Montgomery, Alabama, and son of Joe Reed, civil rights leader. His recent book, First, Best: Lessons in Leadership and Legacy from Today’s Civil Rights Movement, weaves the lessons Reed’s father taught him with those he learned the hard way, making his name in a world not built for him. Mayor Reed will be joined in conversation by Michel Martin, host of NPR’s Morning Edition.

Please note that this program is virtual.
