Peter Houlahan joins Byrd's Books for an author talk

Please join us for an author talk and presentation from author Peter Houlahan on Tuesday September 24th as we celebrate his new book, Reap the Whirlwind: Violence, Race, Justice, and the Story of Sagon Penn. Registration suggested due to space.

About the book: March 31, 1985. Two white patrol officers in search of a gang member followed a pickup truck carrying seven young Black men up a dirt driveway in the Encanto neighborhood of Southeastern San Diego. Minutes later, gunshots rang out, and the truck's driver, Sagon Penn, fled the scene in an officer's patrol car. The incident stunned the city. What followed would change it forever.
