A Conversation With Christopher Paul Curtis, Author of The Watsons Go to Birmingham–1963

Sistah Girls, I got the chance to talk to Christopher Paul Curtis, author of the classic novel, The Watsons Go to Birmingham–1963. The novel is celebrating 25 years, Curtis and I spoke about his writing journey, he gave some gems to new writers, and we talked about what it means to have a book that centers a black boy and his family in publication for 25 years.
