Dr. Eddie Glaude Jr Speaker Profile: At A Glance
Eddie S. Glaude Jr. is an intellectual who speaks to the complex dynamics of the American experience. His most well-known books, Democracy in Black and In a Shade of Blue, take a wide look at black communities, the difficulties of race in the US, and the challenges our democracy face. Combining a scholar’s knowledge of history, a political commentator’s take on the latest events, and an activist’s passion for social justice, Glaude challenges all of us to examine our collective conscience, "not to posit the greatness of America, but to establish the ground upon which to imagine the country anew."
