Join us for a reading with author De’Shawn Charles Winslow. Winslow’s latest book Decent People is a sweeping and unforgettable novel of a Black community reeling from a triple homicide, and the secrets the killings reveal. “A propulsive second novel, a murder mystery that doubles as a savvy examination of race and class… Decent People practically turns its own pages…” ––The Los Angeles Times
