READING PROGRAM

A Knock at Midnight - Reading Program book

READING PROGRAM AUTHOR TALK

A Knock at Midnight: A Story of Hope, Justice and Freedom

6 - 7 pm CST on Wednesday, Feb. 8th



Get started on your 2023 Reading Program with this special event! The author, Brittany K. Barnett, was a law student when she came across the case that would change her life forever - the case of Sharanda Jones, a victim of America’s war on drugs. As Barnett studied this case, a system came into focus with widespread racial injustice at the core of America’s addiction to incarceration. Moved, Barnett set to work to gain Sharanda’s freedom. The memoir is at once Barnett’s coming-of-age story and a powerful evocation of what it takes to bring hope and justice to a system built to resist them.


A Knock at Midnight appears on the 2023 Reading Program list  as a Leadership Development selection.

No cost, all are welcome, space is limited. Pre-read the book to enrich your experience of the author's talk.
