Friday, Feb. 26
7pm
via Zoom
One of the nation’s most prominent scholars, Eddie s. Glaude, Jr. is an author, political commentator, public intellectual, and passionate educator who examines the complex dynamics of the American experience. His writing, including Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul, In a Shae of Blue: Pragmatism and the Politics of Black America, and his most recent, the New York Times bestseller, Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for our Own, take a wide look at Black communities, the difficulties of race in the United States, and the challenges we face as a democracy. In his writing and speaking, Glaude is an American critic in the tradition of James Baldwin and Ralph Waldo Emerson, confronting history and bringing into full view our nation’s complexities, vulnerabilities and hope-hope that is, in one of his favorite quotes from W.E.B Dubois, “not hopeless, but a bit of hopeful.”
