Super Bowl Champion and three-time Pro Bowler Michael Bennett is an outspoken proponent for social justice and a man without a censor. He’s a fearless activist, a feminist, a grassroots philanthropist, an organizer, and a change maker. He’s also one of the most scathingly humorous athletes on the planet, and he wants to make you uncomfortable.

We invite you to join Bennett for an intimate discussion of his new
book *Things That Make White People Uncomfortable* with Marc Lamont Hill.

Bennett adds his unmistakable voice to discussions on racism and police violence, Black athletes and their relationship to powerful institutions like the NCAA and the NFL, the role of protest in history, and the responsibilities of athletes as role models to speak out against injustice.

Bennett’s memoir, *Things that Make White People Uncomfortable* is a sports book for our turbulent times, a memoir, and a manifesto as hilarious and engaging as it is illuminating.

Copies of *Things That Make White People Uncomfortable* will be available for sale and signing.

Presented by Haymarket Books and Uncle Bobbie’s Coffee and Books.
