What place does the n-word have in society, and who gets to decide? These are the questions Dr. Elizabeth Pryor has grappled with throughout her life as Richard Pryor's daughter and, a bit later in life, as an esteemed scholar of racism and history at Smith College. In her recent family memoir, Something We Said, she unpacks these questions as few contemporaries can.
Join us Friday, September 18th at 6:00 PM for an author discussion and book signing with Dr. Pryor.

Nosh will be serving up their best dishes and drinks from the cafe, and we will have signed copies of Dr. Pryor's book available for purchase on-site.
