Ethan Michaeli, whose book, The Defender, brilliantly chronicles the history of the significant African American newspaper, was named one of the 100 notable books of 2016 by The New York Times. In his review of the book for The Times, Brent Staples writes that The Defender is a “deeply researched, elegant written history….It is also a towering achievement that will not be soon forgotten.”
The Cliff Dwellers monthly Saturday morning book club is honored to have Ethan Michaeli as our guest on February 25 to discuss his book. The discussion begins at 11 and is free, and Mr. Michaeli will be staying afterwards for lunch for which you will need to make a reservation at reservations@cliff-chicago.org.
