Between the Lines: Shaka Senghor and John Forte

Head to Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and hang out with Shaka Senghor as he gives us an inside look on his memoir “Writing My Wrongs.”
In his memoir Writing My Wrongs, Shaka Senghor chronicles child abuse, violence, depression, and life in the streets as a drug dealer, which led him to a murder conviction and behind bars.  His 19-year sentence, seven of which was spent in solitary confinement, would fuel his passion for education and motivated him to become an agent in the reform of America’s industrial prison complex.  Writing My Wrongs is a story about self-liberation, and a first-account narrative about the horrors of the prison system.
