Last weekend, Boots Riley of The Coup discussed his film, Sorry To Bother You at the 81st Avenue Community Library for Sarah Webster Fabio Center for Social Justice's #ResistanceResilienceAnticipation.

According to Riley, he grew up by the 81st Avenue Community Library branch and filmed in Oakland because he's from The Town and wanted to make a film that was authentic, captured nuance, and escaped cookie-cutter formats.

Thank you Boots Riley of The Coup Akonadi Foundation Bookmark Bookstore / Friends of the Oakland Public Library (FOPL) Sarah Webster Fabio Center for Social Justice!

"It means standing in your commitment. Insisting that your intelligence is legitimate and that the accepted way to do things is not the only way to do things, then get busy."
