Author shares unique experience for Literature For All of Us

CHICAGO (WLS) -- For the first time in Chicago, Literature for All of Us is teaming up with Author, Actor, and Activist Michael Fosberg for a one-day event highlighting race in America.

Fosberg, after growing up in a middle-class white family, discovered in his mid-30s that his biological father was African American. "Incognito: An American Odyssey of Race and Self-Discovery," his autobiographical book and acclaimed one-man play, confronts the issues of prejudice, diversity, heritage and family through his revelatory journey.

On Oct. 25, Fosberg will hold a special performance beginning at 2 p.m. at The Riaz H. Waraich Auditorium at the SLC Building in Chicago. All proceeds will benefit Literature for All of Us, which uses a book group model to create readers, writers and critical thinkers in some of the most under-resourced neighborhoods of Chicago and Evanston.

Fosberg joined ABC7 Eyewitness News to talk about his experiences and his upcoming performance.
