Nathan McCall

African-American Author

Tuesday, March 31, 2009

At 7:00 p.m. in the Chapel

In his first book, Makes Me Wanna Holler, McCall provides a detailed story of his life and the hardships he experienced growing up with racial profiling and class difference. His second book, What's Going On used personal essays to discuss some larger issues such as social, cultural, and political tensions that affect the modern day United States.

After the success of his books, McCall was in demand as a speaker. He left The Washington Post for the lecture circuit. Today he continues to write, and has taught in the journalism program at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. His first novel Them, dealing with issues of gentrification in an Atlanta neighborhood, was published in 2007.
