After the killing last year of George Floyd, in police custody in Minneapolis, Ibram X. Kendi’s 2019 book How to Be an Antiracist, soared up the best-seller list. In February, Kendi, the director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University, and the historian Keisha N. Blain will release Four Hundred Souls, a historical retelling they assembled by 90 writers, each examining a five-year period in Black American history. On Feb. 1, the two editors will kick off the book release with a discussion of the work alongside the fellow writers Isabel Wilkerson, Clint Smith and Kiese Laymon.
