Velshi Banned Book Club: 'Heavy: An American Memoir' with Kiese Laymon

08:34

Written in the second person, directly addressing his mother, “Heavy” chronicles author Kiese Laymon’s life from his boyhood in poverty-stricken Jackson, Mississippi to an adulthood spent on prestigious college campuses. The award-winning novel is at once a coming-of-age story and a searing condemnation of the racism and misogyny that perforate the fabric of this country. It’s a story of the power of education, the complexities of family dynamics, and the realities of what it means to be a Black man in America.June 22, 2024
