# 2023 National Book Festival: New Ways of Confronting Systemic Racism with Shane McCrae & Nicole Sealey

Poetry and poets confront racism in this panel. In his memoir "Pulling the Chariot of the Sun," poet Shane McCrae pieces together the story of his childhood kidnapping by his white grandparents and the fragments of his biracial identity. Nicole Sealey's poetry collection "The Ferguson Report" reimagines the eponymous report on racially-biased policing in Missouri. Moderated by Anya Creightney.
