Dean Calbreath - The Sergeant: The Incredible Life of Nicholas Said
SEE EVENT DETAILS
In The Sergeant, Nicholas Said's epic (and largely unknown) story is brought to light by globe-trotting, Pulitzer-prize-winning journalist Dean Calbreath in a meticulously researched and approachable biography. Through the lens of Said's continent-crossing life, Calbreath examines the parallels and differences in the ways slavery was practiced from a global and religious perspective, and he highlights how Said's experiences echo the discrimination, segregation, and violence that are still being reckoned with today.
