Here.” Following the brutal murder of an Ethiopian immigrant in Portland, Oregon, in 1988, disparate groups quickly came together to organize against white nationalist violence and right-wing organizing throughout the Rose City and the Pacific Northwest.

■ Sara A.H. Butler,

“Fortune & Folly.” Asa Candler Jr. was a man of big vision and bigger adventures, a socialite whose boisterous, unapologetic personality made him both beloved and reviled in the Atlanta community between 1910 and 1950. But after his death, memories of him faded, leaving only his towering, grandiose mansion on Briarcliff Road. Butler’s book offers a deep dive into the life of this eccentric millionaire to excavate a piece — and place — of Atlanta history. 6 p.m. Tuesday. Talk. Free. Tall Tales Book Shop, 2105 LaVista Road NE, Atlanta, 404-636-2498. talltalesatlanta.com/

Talk. Free. Gwinnett County Library Duluth Branch, 3180 Main St., Duluth, 770-978-5154. gwinnettpl.libnet.info/ event/10420898
