Yellow Black chronicles the first 21 years of Haki R. Madhubuti's adversity-filled life as Don Lee. Madhubuti weaves this painful and uplifting story, the only way he knows how, through the music of words. Instead of choosing straight narrative to tell his story, Madhubuti uses prose, poetry, and the beautiful free jazz flow of words to include the memorable events, people, and places that were a part of his life. Join us for a book signing with the author.
