This vibrant collection invites readers to breathe deeply and return to that "carefree" season. From riding bikes with friends through the neighborhood, to hopping the ferry to Boblo Island, catching catfish along the river, dancing on warm nights to Afrobeats and jazz music, and cooling off in the Swimmobile, those sun-drenched memories were often clouded by racism for the Detroiters in this evocative anthology. These emerging and award-winning creators of all ages recount the struggles and triumph of staking their claim to public spaces. Ranging from poetry to essay, creative nonfiction to comics, this collection blends nostalgia with struggle and resilience. Arising from the iconic city of the African American experience comes this exploration of Black joy in the urban outdoors. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/petersburg/black-summers-book-chat-with-desiree-cooper/100001986259404347 - **Event Categories**: music, art, literary-art, trips-adventures, entertainment, calendar, jazz - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fblack-summers-book-chat-with-desiree-cooper-tickets-1986259404347 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 29.58, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Petersburg - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Resist Booksellers Bookstore - **lat**: 37.2311804 - **long**: -77.4042887 - **full address**: Resist Booksellers Bookstore, 233 North Sycamore Street, Petersburg, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Resist Booksellers (https://allevents.in/org/resist-booksellers/21268459) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/a049a82b07049a60c826e8e4a9f203630925ce6c33c86184c17186121891e99d-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1775021120 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/ede75315ad2d098248a7d09c7919b0fcfc9ec66e87bcad767686abcbf17410bb-rimg-w400-h400-dcfffffe-gmir.jpg?v=1775021120 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-04:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Resist Booksellers Bookstore, 233 North Sycamore Street, Petersburg, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 29.58 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Resist Booksellers - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** music, art, literary-art, trips-adventures, entertainment, calendar, jazz - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about "Black Summers" Book Chat with Desiree Cooper ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": ""Black Summers" Book Chat with Desiree Cooper", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/a049a82b07049a60c826e8e4a9f203630925ce6c33c86184c17186121891e99d-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1775021120", "startDate": "2026-04-25T12:00:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-04-25T14:00:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/petersburg/black-summers-book-chat-with-desiree-cooper/100001986259404347", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Resist Booksellers Bookstore", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "233 North Sycamore Street", "postalCode": "23803", "addressLocality": "Petersburg", "addressRegion": "VA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "37.2311804", "longitude": "-77.4042887" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for the Black Summers book chat with Desiree Cooper on April 25th, 2026 at 12PM!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-01", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-25T14:00:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2026-04-01", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "29.58", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/petersburg/black-summers-book-chat-with-desiree-cooper/100001986259404347" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-01", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-01", "url": "https://allevents.in/petersburg/black-summers-book-chat-with-desiree-cooper/100001986259404347", "price": "29.58", "name": "Admission with Paperback Book" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-01", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-01", "url": "https://allevents.in/petersburg/black-summers-book-chat-with-desiree-cooper/100001986259404347", "price": 0, "name": "Admission without Book" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-01", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-01", "url": "https://allevents.in/petersburg/black-summers-book-chat-with-desiree-cooper/100001986259404347", "price": 0, "name": "Donation to the Petersburg Book Fest" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Resist Booksellers", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/resist-booksellers/21268459" } ] } ] ```
