For the past five years, I’ve been working on a book, and I can’t wait to share it with the world. The Lumumba Plot is coming this October from @AAKnopf. You can pre-order here: https://t.co/UWHdwXVI9E

So here’s what happened today. The NYPD arrested me at 96th Street and West Side Highway while I was taking photos and video to post to Twitter. I told the police I was with the Press, they walked by me and then turned around and arrested me.
