ATLANTA - An award-winning book written as a letter to the author's teenage son about racism in America is coming to Atlanta.
"Between the World and Me" was written by Ta-Nehisi Coates and co-commissioned by the Apollo Theater and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Organizers say excerpts from the book will be read along to symphonic music by A-list Atlanta residents like "Queen Sugar's" Omar Dorsey, rapper/actor T.I., and rapper/activist Killer Mike.
Dorsey visited Good Day Atlanta along with presenters J. Carter and Erin White to discuss the performance.
"Between The World And Me" will be in town for one day only, Tuesday, Oct. 22, at Atlanta Symphony Hall.
Performances are at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. For more ticket information click here.
