Let’s talk! Tom and Cookie would like to start a conversation about race relations in the Metro Detroit region. We want to share stories of growing up in Detroit in the 1960s and what we, as a community, can do to improve open communication between blacks and white and people of all races. Please contact us to request a date for your upcoming event. Whether you’re looking for a book club discussion, book signing event, or just a chance to gather a group for coffee and conversation, we’d love to be part of your plans. Here’s a list of our upcoming appearances.

April 16, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
Join us for a morning of recollection, as Thomas “Whitey” Daniels and Thomas “Cookie” Marsh conjure memories about the “good ol’ days.” Have you ever become lost in a story, a movie, or even a song, that took you back to a specific time, place, or person?
In this class, we will discuss both the similarities and the uniqueness of blacks and whites growing up and living in urban America. You will be challenged to put aside ignorance which causes preconceptions and stereotypes. Perhaps Daniels and Marsh will even help you improve your perception of racial issues in America. Hopefully, you will laugh at, appreciate, and relate to much of what Cookie and Whitey went through to arrive at the intersection of their parallel lives and lines.
