D. Watkins: Black Boy Smile

July 7, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join us on Thursday, July 7 at 7 pm as we welcome D. Watkins back to Frederick. D. will discuss his newest book Black Boy Smile, a story of a Black boy who healed.

This event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

 

Black Boy Smile is the story of a Black boy who healed. This is a story not just for boys, but  challenges anyone to reflect on the rippling effects of toxic masculinity on ourselves, our  families, our peers, and ultimately our society. It is a story that rewrites the generalized notions  of black male youth and presents it with the universal expression of a smile. 

D. Watkins is the New York Times bestselling author of four books. He is Editor-at-Large  for Salon. His work has been published in the New York Times, New York Times Magazine, The  Guardian, Rolling Stone, and other publications. Watkins is a writer for the HBO series We Own  This City. He is a college lecturer at the University of Baltimore and is the recipient of numerous  literary awards. He is lives in Baltimore, MD with his wife and daughter.
