The stage adaptation of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me is kicking off its national tour…in Atlanta! We got a chance to catch up with The Collective Culture - the team bringing this show south. We discuss how Coates’ work reflects current notions of HBCU culture, fatherhood and hip-hop, plus the contemporary connections between Atlanta and Harlem, with Ronald B. Williams and Erin White. The Collective Culture (Ronald B. Williams, J. Carter and Erin White) presents the Apollo Theater’s stage adaptation of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ critically-acclaimed Between the World and Me at Atlanta Symphony Hall on October 22.
