SUMMARY:JAMES McBRIDE
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis event is FREE and open to the public; however\, registration is required. \n  \nWe are pleased to announce our 2024 Greensboro Bound Literary Festival keynote author\, award-winning author\, musician\, and screenwriter JAMES McBRIDE\, Thursday\, May 16 at the Elliot University Center on UNCG’s campus. This event is made possible through our continuing partnership with the UNCG University Libraries. \nJames McBride is an award-winning author\, musician\, and screenwriter. His landmark memoir\, The Color of Water\, published in 1996\, has sold millions of copies and spent more than two years on the New York Times bestseller list. Considered an American classic\, it is read in schools and universities across the United States. \nHis debut novel\, Miracle at St. Anna\, was turned into a 2008 film by Oscar-winning writer and director Spike Lee\, with a script written by McBride. \nHis 2013 novel\, The Good Lord Bird\, about American abolitionist John Brown\, won the National Book Award for Fiction and will be a Showtime limited series in fall 2020 starring Ethan Hawke. \nMcBride has been a staff writer for The Boston Globe\, People Magazine\, and The Washington Post\, and his work has appeared in Essence\, Rolling Stone\, and The New York Times. His 2007 National Geographic story “Hip Hop Planet” is considered an important examination of African American music and culture. \nA noted musician and composer\, McBride has toured as a saxophonist sideman with jazz legend Jimmy Scott\, among other musicians. He has written songs for Anita Baker\, Grover Washington Jr.\, Pura Fé\, Gary Burton\, and even for the PBS television character “Barney.” (He did not write the “I Love You” song for Barney\, but he wishes he did.) He received the Stephen Sondheim Award and the Richard Rodgers Foundation Horizon Award for his musical Bobos\, co-written with playwright Ed Shockley. His 2003 Riffin’ and Pontificatin’ musical tour was filmed for a nationally televised Comcast documentary. He has been featured on national radio and television in North America\, Europe\, Australia\, and New Zealand. He often does his public readings accompanied by a band. \nIn addition to being an author and a musician\, McBride has other attributes. He admits to being the worst dancer in the history of African Americana\, bar none (he claims he should be legally barred from dancing at any event he attends). And when he takes off his hat\, fleas fly out. Little things\, little talents. \nA native New Yorker and a graduate of New York City public schools\, McBride studied composition at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio and received his master’s degree at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University. In 2015\, he was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Obama “for humanizing the complexities of discussing race in America.” He holds several honorary doctorates and is currently a Distinguished Writer in Residence at New York University. \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nATTENTION BOOK CLUBS! \nIf you’re interested in reading The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store in preparation for James McBride’s event\, the Greensboro Public Library can provide you with books! \nEmail Amanda Sanson the following info and she’ll hook up your book club! \n\nyour name\, email address\, and phone number\nactive library card number\nbook title\nhow many books you would like borrow (up to 15)\ndate range you would like to borrow the books\nat which branch you would like to pick up your books\nif you would also like audio books (not available for every title)\n\n  \n
