BEFORE THE SPOTLIGHT, FEATURING DREW ROGERS

STLBooks
Kirkwood, MO

Share this event:

StLBooks will host a book signing party featuring Drew Rogers, author of Before the Spotlight, on Thursday, October 2, 2014 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Rogers attended Kirkwood High School where he was a basketball player during the turbulent 60's and 70's, a time when the Civil Rights movement was just beginning and when race riots proliferated. His book takes a candid look at change in that era and offers a moving introspective on racism and how the game of basketball contributed to change. Copies will be available for signing. StLBooks will donate 10% of the proceeds from this event to the Mike Bales Memorial Scholarship Fund, which helps Kirkwood High School students interested in law enforcement careers. Officer Bales was a police officer with the Kirkwood Police Department for 18 years. He was loved by the community and affected many lives in positive ways. He would be pleased to help advance education through this scholarship in his memory. This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
