The ArtsEmerson Play Reading Book Club is a dynamic theatre literacy and community education program that provides unique and radical access to scripts, artists, and conversations within the theatre.

Over the course of three weeks the group will read, discuss, and see this thought-provoking play which uplifts Malcolm X’s under-examined, life-shaping experiences as a young man who called Boston home.
