October 10, 6pm

One of America's preeminent literary and social critics, John Edgar Wideman presents Hoop Roots, the insightful and moving story of his childhood as it was defined by the love of family and his love for basketball. Hoop Roots is also the story of the roots of black basketball in American culture, a story inextricable from racism in America. "No one writes about basketball as well as John Wideman - but Hoop Roots is about so much more than basketball. You won't forget its honesty and you can't fail to be moved by its eloquence." - Bill Bradley
