Tip of the Spear - Extended for the Summer

Today's discussion has been rescheduled for Wednesday, August 20th

As we were preparing, it felt appropriate and necessary to postpone tonight’s discussion. Tip of the Spear is the kind of book that warrants a lot of time to digest, and with everything going on in the world, many of you might appreciate more time and space to read. Typically, we encourage everyone to join the discussion even if they haven’t completed the book. And that is always true. But this time, we want to allow everyone ample opportunity to delve into this text.

Graciously, author Orisanmi Burton has agreed to reschedule and will join us for a discussion on Wednesday, August 20th, at 6 pm ET. Fittingly, this also allows us to commemorate Black August by centering those the month is meant to honor.

If you have already finished reading Tip of the Spear, stay tuned! We will be sharing supplemental material highlighting some of the incredible voices that appear throughout the text. We’ll also be sharing some of our thoughts, particularly how this text shapes our understanding of everything happening now.

Thank you for being part of the TL community. We hope you can appreciate the decision to pivot and focus on Tip of the Spear for the entire summer. It is a phenomenal book, a must-read for anyone interested in our collective liberation.
