This epistle was Coates' account of what autonomy means in the body of a Black man navigating the streets of West Baltimore as a young boy, Howard University as a blossoming young man, well into fatherhood.  In this episode of Vulgar Geniuses, we review the star studded HBO adaptation, based on the 2018 staging of the book at Apollo Theater directed by award winning director and Apollo Theater Executive Producer Kamilah Forbes.
