The authors represented in this upcoming 2015-16 season
embody what has made the series so special and meaningful
for community: social justice inspiration and award-winning
human rights activist (Bryan Stevenson); the 2015
Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Honor Award Winner (Kwame
Alexander); Toledo-raised, feminist, journalist, and
socio-political activist and icon (Gloria Steinem); a
global icon that changed the game of professional
basketball, ambassador, author, Time columnist (Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar); the Poet Laureate of Los Angeles and an
award-winning activist and best-selling author (Luis
Rodriguez), and an Eisner Award-winning cartoonist and
graphic novelist (Lynda Barry) in conversation with
her best friend, the Emmy-winning cartoonist, screenwriter,
producer, and creator of The Simpsons, one of the
most iconic shows in history (Matt Groening).
At each program, authors speak for about an hour, followed
by a short question and answer session. Following the
program, the featured author is usually available to sign
copies of their works. Books will be available for purchase
at the program from Barnes & Noble Booksellers.
