ATLANTA — There will be two chances to see former First Lady Michelle Obama on her new nationwide book tour in Atlanta this year.
Due to overwhelming demand, Live Nation announced a second tour date has been added at the Fox Theatre. Tickets are now available at the Fox on Friday, Dec. 2 and Saturday, Dec. 3. The first lady will be joined by moderator Tyler Perry for both dates.
This will be Michelle Obama's second globally released book, according to a release. She will kick off her book tour in Washington, D.C. on the same day her book "The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times" is released on Tuesday, Nov. 15.
The book will offer readers a series of stories and reflections based on change, challenge and power, a release stated.
“For me, The Light We Carry book tour will be about starting important conversations and digging deeper into the questions that all of us are grappling with as we live through uncertain times,” Obama said. “I can’t wait to get back on the road and dive into it with such a thoughtful, impressive group of moderators.”
Other moderators include Ellen DeGeneres (11/15 and 11/16), Elizabeth Alexander (11/17), Gayle King (11/18), Hoda Kotb (11/19), Tyler Perry(12/2 + 12/3), David Letterman (12/5), Heather McGhee (12/6), Conan O’Brien (12/9), Tracee Ellis Ross (12/10), Michele Norris (12/11), and Oprah Winfrey (12/13).
