Author Talk Featuring Harold "Noonie G" Ward

Join us in person for Harold “Noonie G” Ward’s story is more than a memoi, it’s a reckoning. Altgeld Gardens pulls back the curtain on a Chicago community too often spoken about but rarely spoken for. Through Noonie G’s voice, the realities of survival, loyalty, violence, and redemption are laid bare with honesty and purpose.

This book doesn’t glorify the struggl, it confronts it. It honors the people who lived it. And it reminds us that even in the harshest environments, transformation is possible. Noonie G’s journey from the heart of Altgeld Gardens to becoming a voice for truth and change is a testament to resilience, accountability, and the power of telling your own story before someone else tells it for you.
