James Baldwin Centennial Celebration with Eddie Glaude Jr.

5:30 pm: Dinner and Music by Mtali Banda
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm: Talk and Q&A 

Join us as we celebrate and honor the legacy of James Baldwin in this Centennial Celebration. Dr. Eddie Glaude Jr of Princeton University will deliver a talk focused on James Baldwin and the promise of democracy, and meet with students, faculty, and staff for small group discussions.

Dr. Glaude is the author of Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own, and is the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of African American Studies, a program he first became involved with shaping as a doctoral candidate in Religion at Princeton.  He served as the inaugural chair of the department for more than fourteen years. He is also on the Morehouse College Board of Trustees. He frequently appears in the media, as a columnist for TIME Magazine and as an MSNBC contributor on programs like Morning Joe and Deadline Whitehouse with Nicolle Wallace. He also regularly appears on Meet the Press on Sundays. 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 American conscience.
