- **Event Description**: Join us on Wednesday, June 10, as Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor presents her new book, Something We Said: Richard Pryor, a Notorious Word and Me.About this EventJoin us on Wednesday, June 10, as Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor presents her new book, Something We Said: Richard Pryor, a Notorious Word and Me.About the BookPart memoir by the daughter of the iconic comedian Richard Pryor, part exploration of the historical and contemporary use of the N-word, this hybrid book peels back the curtain on the life of Pryor and interrogates the most perplexing word in the American lexicon, a word he helped popularize.The N-word is one of the most perplexing, controversial and misunderstood words in the American lexicon. It’s a word that Elizabeth Pryor has not only contemplated, it’s one that she has taught and observed up close.When a white student quoted her father and blurted out the N-word in the middle of a class she was teaching, Professor Pryor’s worlds collided. In that moment, she was forced to confront the history of the notorious slur in the United States, and her complicated relationship with her father Richard Pryor, who made the word a trademark of his comedy in the 1970s.As she dives into her research, her own memories of the N-word come flooding back in unprocessed memories that she hadn’t thought about for decades. In reckoning with those memories, Elizabeth goes on a more public journey of discovery of the messy and sometimes surprising legacies of racism in the United States.A braided narrative that seamlessly integrates the history of the N-word with Elizabeth’s own story of growing up the Black Jewish daughter of Richard Pryor, Something We Said follows Elizabeth as she becomes a leading scholar and teacher of the very word her father put on the pop culture map.About the AuthorElizabeth Stordeur Pryor is a professor of history at Smith College where she teaches courses on race, slavery, and one on her father, comedic legend Richard Pryor. She is the award-winning author of the article “The Etymology of [N-Word]: Resistance, Language, and the Politics of Freedom in the Antebellum North” and a 2016 monograph entitled Colored Travelers: Mobility and the Fight for Citizenship before the Civil War. Her viral TED Talk on why it’s hard to talk about the n-word inspired her forthcoming book—a hybrid memoir and historical exploration of the n-word. She grew up in Los Angeles and now lives in Massachusetts with her husband Jerry Stordeur.
