Elizabeth Pryor:
Something We Said

Historian Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor turns to an intensely personal subject: her father, comedian Richard Pryor, and the n-word that shaped both their lives. She speaks in conversation with author and entrepreneur Nina Lorez Collins, moving between scholarship and personal reflection on the history and enduring force of the word, race in America, and the search for identity. The talk runs Thursday, December 10, 2026, 6:30–8 pm at the Center for Brooklyn History.
