UPDATE:  TICKETS NOW SOLD OUT.

ATTENDANCE ONLY IN THE EVENT OF NO SHOWS AT THE DOOR.

Stacey Abrams narrowly lost Georgia’s gubernatorial race in November, in a race against a GOP opponent who was Georgia’s Secretary of State who engaged in outrageous voter suppression tactics.  Before Election Day, his office put 53,000 voter registrations on hold, almost 70 percent of which were submitted by black voters.  That is still being battled out in the courts.

Abrams, a superstar in Democratic Georgia politics, is now one of the most influential Democrats in the South.  While she lost the recent election, her political career is far from over.

Abrams is a  politician, lawyer and novelist who served as Minority Leader of the Georgia House of Representatives from 2011 to 2017.^[1] A member of the Democratic Party,  Abrams was the first black female major-party gubernatorial nominee in the history of the United States.^[2]

In 1995, Abrams earned her Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (Political Science, Economics and Sociology) from Spelman College, magna cum laude.  As a Harry S. Truman Scholar, Abrams studied public policy at the University of Texas at Austin‘s LBJ School of Public Affairs and earned a Master of Public Affairsdegree in 1998. In 1999, she earned a law degree from Yale Law School.^[1

In her new book, Minority Leader, Stacey Abrams sets out to prove that if you’re determined to make a difference, race, age and gender wont hinder your efforts. Stacey Abrams showed the country that being an outlier or an outsider was not a deterrence in her many successes. Rather, it is her sheer force of will and confidence in her message that beats the most daunting odds. This is what she showed in her gubernatorial race, and she never wavered from her demand that our elections be fair and just.
