Notă biografică

Etan Thomas: Etan Thomas, a former NBA star who played in the league for eleven years, defies the stereotype of the apolitical athlete, planting his roots in his formidable literary career, passion for mentoring, and civic engagement. Born in Harlem, New York, and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Thomas’s childhood was surrounded by books on the civil rights movement, politics and the 1960s.

In 2005, Thomas released his first book, a collection of poems called More Than an Athlete (Haymarket Books). In 2012, Thomas released his second book, Fatherhood: Rising to the Ultimate Challenge (Penguin). He speaks at town hall panels across the country, as well as at prisons, churches, universities, schools, and various conventions. In 2013, he released Voices of the Future (Penguin), a collection of poems and essays by young writers from around the country on topics such as racism, Trayvon Martin, President Obama, gun violence, and AIDS.

Thomas was honored for social justice advocacy as the recipient of the 2010 National Basketball Players Association Community Contribution Award, as well as the 2009 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Foundation, Inc. Legacy Award. His writings have appeared in the Washington Post, the Huffington Post, CNN, and ESPN. He can be frequently seen on MSNBC as a special correspondent and he cohosts a weekly local radio show, The Collision, on WPFW 89.3 FM in Washington, DC, about where sports and politics collide.
