Here & Now co-host Scott Tong moderates a conversation with educator, author and political commentator Eddie Glaude, Jr., about his new book, “America, U.S.A.:

How Race Shadows the Nation's Anniversaries.” The book examines how racial injustices shadow all of the nation’s milestones and the whitewashing that occurs repeatedly to bury these truths. Using lessons and accounts from W.E.B. DuBois, John Dos Passos, Herman Melville, Martin Luther King, Jr. and more, Glaude presents examples of our tangled, complicated past and ever more tenuous future.


Copies of the book will be available to purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Brooksmith. Glaude will sign copies following the conversation.
