Popular author Sister Souljah set to speak in front of 1,700 in KCK

Kansas City, Kan., Public Library will be the host of bestselling author Sister Souljah as part of the tour for her latest book, “A Moment of Silence: Midnight III.”

The event will take place Saturday, April 16, in the auditorium of Wyandotte High School in Kansas City, Kan. The event was originally scheduled to be held at the Main Library, but due to the phenomenal response in registrations, it was moved to accommodate more attendees.

Activist, educator, hip hop artist, and bestselling author Sister Souljah is best known for her autobiography, “No Disrespect,” and her novel, “The Coldest Winter Ever.” As a community activist, she participated in the anti-apartheid movement, organized rallies against racially motivated crimes, created the African Youth Survival Camp, and worked as the executive director of Daddy’s House Social Programs.

She is a graduate of Rutgers University and was also educated at Cornell University and University of Salamanca. More information about the event can be found at www.kckpl.org.
