National Public Radio correspondent Michele Norris visited the Nashville Public Library to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the library’s Civil Rights room and collection. A crowd of approximately 200 people gathered as Norris led a discussion on race, class, and civil rights in post-Obama America. She also talked about her new book, The Grace of Silence, and read excerpts from her online project, the Race Card Wall, a collection of six-word postcards submitted by people from around the world that share different experiences, questions, hopes, dreams, laments, and observations about race and identity.
