Speaking Engagements

Bring “Marse” to your school, bookstore, or event

Marse is the ideal book to bridge the topics of psychology, public history, and U.S. history. For those looking to learn about the past to better understand the present, this is a timely publication. Universities, book stores, classrooms, historic sites, and more would benefit from its psycho-historical analysis on the antebellum southern planting class.

De is available for talks, Q&A’s, and book signings. The length and elements of the presentation can be formatted to fit the intended audience.

Available Speaking Engagement Formats:

  • Opening Sizzle Reel (13 minutes) or private screening of film, A Binding Truth (90 minutes).

  • Talk/Presentation - Can be limited to 20 min, up to 1 hr. A more in-depth seminar or presentation with Jimmie Lee Kirkpatrick can be arranged, using A Binding Truth and Marse as centerpieces for a discussion of slavery and race in America.

  • Q&A - Optional

  • Book Signing - Optional (book copies can be provided for sale or in coordination with book store)

“I hope the reader has a deeper understanding of the horrors of slavery, and the slavery-derived wounds that continue to harm our country and a greater awareness of the ubiquitous throughline connecting the dehumanization of Blacks with white supremacy”

— H.D. “De” Kirkpatrick
