Author Talk: Andrew Kahrl's The Black Tax
Historian Andrew Kahrl will break down the research informing his book The Black Tax: 150 Years of Theft, Exploitation, and Dispossession in America, which examines how, from Reconstruction through the present day, structural features of the country's tax system have stripped African American landowners of assets and diverted wealth from Black households. Books will be available for purchase and signing. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
This program is offered as part of the library's commemoration of Black History Month. View additional programs in this series.
