Just days after the release of the highly-anticipated “Black Panther” film, Award-winning journalist and author Jesse J. Holland will share his celebrated novel featuring the superhero, Black Panther: Who Is The Black Panther? at a National Press Club Headliners Book Event on Tuesday, February 27 at 6:30pm.

In Black Panther Holland retells the classic origin of T’Challa, the original Black Panther who first appeared in American comic books published by Marvel Comics back in 1966, and updates it for the new century.

This event will feature a discussion with the author, an audience question-and-answer session, and a book signing. Tickets are $5 for National Press Club members and $10 for the general public. To purchase tickets and copies of the book, please click here.
