- **Event Description**: Come join us at Sankofa Book Club to discuss "You Can’t K*ll a Man Because of the Books He Reads: Angelo Herndon’s Fight " by Brad Snyder.About this EventJoin us for the next installment of AARLCC's book club series as we discuss "You Can’t K*ll a Man Because of the Books He Reads: Angelo Herndon’s Fight for Free Speech" by Brad Snyder, facilitated by Bobby Henry, Publisher of the Westside Gazette, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.About  "" by Brad Snyder:Decades before the impeachment of an American president for a similar offense, Angelo Herndon was charged under Georgia law with "attempting to incite insurrection"-a crime punishable by death. In 1932, the eighteen-year-old Black Communist Party organizer was arrested and had his room illegally searched and his radical literature seized. Charged under an old slave insurrection statute, Herndon was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to eighteen to twenty years on a chain gang. You Can't K*ll a Man Because of the Books He Reads chronicles Herndon's five-year quest for freedom during a time when Blacks, white liberals, and the radical left joined forces to define the nation's commitment to civil rights and civil liberties.Herndon's champions included the young, Black Harvard Law School-educated attorney Benjamin J. Davis Jr.; the future historian C. Vann Woodward, who joined the interracial Herndon defense committee; the white-shoe New York lawyer Whitney North Seymour, who argued Herndon's appeals; and literary friends Ralph Ellison, Langston Hughes, and Richard Wright. With their support, Herndon won his freedom and reinvented himself as a Harlem literary star until a dramatic fall from grace.A legal odyssey of Herndon's narrow escape from certain death because of his unpopular political beliefs, You Can't K*ll a Man Because of the Books He Reads explores Herndon's journey from Alabama coal miner to Communist Party organizer to Harlem hero and beyond. Brad Snyder tells the stories of the diverse coalition of people who rallied to his cause and who twice appealed his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. They forced the Court to recognize free speech and peaceable assembly as essential rights in a democracy-a landmark decision in 1930s America as well as today.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/e771f050-0d89-11f0-816e-65de0bf79b7a-rimg-w495-h740-dcc4c4c4-gmir.jpg
