Kareem Rosser
Traveling from one Pennsylvania city to another, a Philadelphia author will visit Harrisburg to share his inspiring true story.
On Thursday, Author Kareem Rosser will sign books at Good Brotha’s Book Café and participate in a free Zoom webinar with the Dauphin County Library System.
His book, “Crossing the Line: A Fearless Team of Brothers and the Sport that Changed Their Lives Forever,” shares his story of growing up in the inner city of Philadelphia and becoming a national polo champion. It details how, at 8 years old, he and his brothers discovered the Work to Ride program in a Fairmont Park stable near his West Philadelphia home. The program teaches inner-city children to ride and play polo, and stresses academics. Participants are connected with college students who volunteer as tutors.
Rosser is a financial analyst in Philadelphia and serves on the Work to Ride board.
The event is a collaboration between the library and David Dix, co-founder and CEO of Luminous Strategies, the largest African American-owned lobbying firm in the state.
The book signing event will take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Good Brotha’s Book Café, 1419 N. 3rd St., Harrisburg.
The free Zoom discussion will be live-streamed from 7 to 8 p.m.
The library will also hold a virtual discussion with Rosser for Steelton-Highspire students.
