Welcoming Dr. Ibram X Kendi to the Detroit Public Library

Friday, May 16th, 2025
4:30 pm - 5:30 pm at the
Main Library

Join us to commemorate Malcolm X's 100th Birthday! The Detroit Public Library is hosting Dr. Ibram X Kendi to celebrate his new book Malcolm Lives!, a book about Malcolm X's youth. The book is geared toward readers aged 10 -14. It was written in collaboration with the Malcolm X Estate and is a powerful biography for young readers. We believe that people of all ages will learn from this book.

Books are available before the event at Source Booksellers. Unfortunately Dr. Kendi will not be able to sign books at the event.

To purchase a signed book ahead of time, register for the event using Source Bookseller's Eventbrite.

The event is free and open to the public. To sign up for free reminders about the event, register using DPL's Eventbrite.
