Come out to Sankofa Video, Books & Café this Saturday at 2 p.m. for an afternoon with author and screenwriter Robert J. Williams. He will read excerpts from his book, "Strivers and Other Stories," which recently won the Washington Writers' Publishing House Fiction Prize. 

The book, which is set primarily in the black American South between the 1920s and present day, harnesses the voices of teachers and doctors, train porters and factory workers, soldiers and musicians -- all striving towards their versions of the American dream. With a mix of humor and heart, satire and sentiment, this collection captures their everyday struggles for better lives and their hopes for promising futures. There will be a discussion with the author immediately following the reading.
