# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Book Signing & Talk with Gary Tyler: Author, Artist, Activist 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 02 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Mon, 02 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Gary will be reading from his latest book, Stitching Freedom: A True Story of Injustice, Defiance, and Hope in Angola Prison, on March 2, from 5: 30 pm to 7pm in the Brick House at Ernest & Hadley Booksellers.

About the Book:

This is not a story of mistaken identity or circumstantial evidence, but one of systemic injustice from an institution hard-wired into a legacy of slavery—in effect, this was a legal lynching. While detailing the injustice, Gary’s memoir is also a remarkable story of pride, forgiveness, community, and triumph. With insight and heart, he shows how he learned to reject bitterness and fight for freedom, helped by activists such as Albert Woodfox and Herman Wallace on the inside and relentless support from a mass movement on the outside. Stitching Freedom is the page-turning narrative with which Gary reclaims his power.

About the Author:

Gary Tyler is an artist and a spokesperson for justice. During his years in prison, Tyler galvanized a movement that grew to have national and international support, one of the precursors to today’s abolition and Black Lives Matter movements. He was recently awarded the 2024 Frieze LA Impact Prize, which recognizes artists who use their talents and abilities to address social justice issues. Stitching Freedom is his first book.
