Entering college at the peak of the '60s, these "Little Redders" would go on to change the course of American history: Angela Davis, Tom Hurwitz, and Elliott Abrams. Based on extensive original interviews and archival research, "Little Red" by Dina Hampton follows these characters' public and private paths through the seminal events and political struggles of the second half of the 20th century. As they pursue political ends, each of their lives will be shaped by relationships, personal failings, racism, sexism and social changes they never anticipated. 8 p.m. Books & Books, 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables.
