The Bay Area Book Release of ‘No Doubt: The Murder(s) of Oscar Grant’ written by Thandisizwe Chimurenga. Sponsored by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and ONYX, award-winning, hip hop journalist Davey D of KPFA’s Hard Knock Radio will moderate the evening. Chimurenga, an award-winning freelance journalist, covered the 2010 trial of the police officer accused of murder in the death of Oscar Grant, the subject of the hit 2013 film “Fruitvale Station” produced by Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker. “No Doubt” is an analysis of the trial which was moved to Los Angeles due to extensive pre-trial publicity. Chimurenga uses her writing as political activism. In “No Doubt,” she connects the systematic state-sanctioned violence against young Black males nationally through the lens of Oscar Grant’s murder.
