Meet the speakers

Keynote: Walter Mosley
"Our need for racial justice is rooted in the decimation and annihilation of our natives peoples, in the historic and monumental enslavement and marginalization of African peoples, it informs our excuse to go to war without counting the dead or measuring the destruction, and it is the weight we put on the back of every so-called illegal laborer who harvests our sustenance, builds our shelters, and who will ultimately dig our graves."

 

Best-known for his popular mysteries featuring private investigator Easy Rawlins, Walter Mosley transcends the conventional bounds of fiction writing. The New York Times Book Review called him “a literary artist as well as a master of mystery.” The Boston Globe hailed him as “one of the nation’s finest writers.”
