"King: A Life" at National Writers Series

March 8, 2025

Black History Month has just concluded, but the National Writers Series is putting Martin Luther King, Jr. in the spotlight this week. Author Jonathan Eig will be in Traverse City on Thursday, March 13, to discuss his Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, King: A Life. NWS calls the book a “landmark biography” and says that “Eig gives us an MLK whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime.” The event will be held at City Opera House; tickets start at $34 and include a copy of the book from Horizon Books. Virtual tickets are $31 (also including the book), while student tickets are $10 (sans book) with a valid student ID. Doors open at 6pm and the event begins at 7pm.
