In partnership with the Wisconsin Book Festival, Madison College presents “Speak the Truth with Gyasi Ross” will be held Wednesday, Nov. 7, 7-9 p.m. at Madison Public Library, 201 W. Mifflin St.

Known as one of the best storytellers and one of the sharpest young intellectuals in this time, Ross is the author of two books, Don’t Know Much About Indians (but I wrote a book about us anyways) (2011) and How to Say I Love You in Indian (2014).

The opening activities for this event include spoken word by the First Wave poets of University of Wisconsin and poets from the community. This event is brought to you by a partnership between the Wisconsin Book Festival and Madison College.
