Eddie Glaude Jr. to discuss new book

Posted

Princeton professor and MSNBC commentator Eddie Glaude Jr. will discuss his new book, “We Are The Leaders We Have Been Waiting For,” April 22 at Greene Street Friends in Germantown.

Glaude, who also is an ordained minister, will discuss his book with scholar Marc Lamont Hill, owner of Uncle Bobbie’s Coffee & Books in Germantown, which is sponsoring the event.

During the conversation and book signing, Glaude will make the case that the hard work of becoming a better person should be a critical feature of Black politics. By exploring the lives of figures such as Martin Luther King
Jr., Malcolm X and Ella Baker, Glaude “shows how ordinary people have the capacity to be the heroes that democracy requires.”

Doors open at 6 p.m. The event begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7.50 for general admission and $28.50, which includes a signed copy of the book. Greene Street Friends is at 20 W. Armat St., Germantown. For information and tickets, visit unclebobbies.com
