Ta-Nehisi Coates Previews a New Festival for his Apollo Residency

Award-winning author Ta-Nehisi Coates is the current artist-in-residence at The Apollo and is curating the festival [at] The Intersection, running from October 6-8, a series of performances and panel discussions with cultural figures like Jordan E. Cooper, Bisa Butler and Salamishah Tillet. We preview the festival with Coates and speak more about his relationship with The Apollo. And, during Banned Books Week, we also speak to him about recent attempts to remove his book Between the World and Me from schools in South Carolina, Texas, and other states.
