Ronald B. Williams, J. Erin White, J. Carter and Omar Dorsey
ATLANTA - An award-winning book written as a letter to the author's teenage son about racism in America is coming to Atlanta.
"Between the World and Me" was written by Ta-Nehisi Coates and co-commissioned by the Apollo Theater and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Organizers say excerpts from the book will be read along to symphonic music by A-list Atlanta residents like "Queen Sugar's" Omar Dorsey, rapper/actor T.I., and rapper/activist Killer Mike.
Dorsey visited Good Day Atlanta along with presenters J. Carter and Erin White to discuss the performance.
