Mayor Thomas M. Menino invites you to a literary and musical tribute to (son of Boston) Sammy Davis Jr, featuring Wil Haygood, author of newly released biography In Black and White: The Life of Sammy Davis Jr. A reception and a book signing will follow the tribute. |
|
|
In this superb work of biography, Wil Haygood brings Sammy Davis, Jr., to life against the backdrop of 20th-century race relations. In Black and White transcends simple biography to become an important record, both celebratory and elegiacal, of a vanished America and its greatest entertainer.
