Nico Lang in conversation with Jose Vazquez for a talk about American Teenager
February 23 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Nico Lang is our special guest for a talk about American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era. The award-winning journalist, whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and dozens of other nationally respected news outlets, has written a powerful book brilliant in its humanity. With humor and compassion, they provide a moving portrait of trans and nonbinary teens across the country. Author Samantha Allen calls the book “a master class in journalism as a force for change.” Come hear Lang in conversation with Jose Vazquez, Communications Director of the ACLU of Alabama. It’s going to be a rich and informed discussion you won’t want to miss. That’s Sunday, February 23 at 3pm at The NewSouth Bookstore. Thanks to Prattville Pride, co-sponsor of this event.
