Steven W. Thrasher, PhD, will talk about his new book The Overseer Class (Amistad/HarperCollins, 2025). Based upon his reporting on the Black Lives Matter movement since he was covering Ferguson in 2014, Thrasher writes of observing an “overseer class” of Black cops, gay prosecutors, and people from marginalized background who amass their power by cracking the skulls of their own.
