DESCRIPTION:**THIS PROGRAM IS SOLD OUT** \n\n \n\nCelebrated public intelle
 ctual Eddie S. Glaude\, Jr. presents a groundbreaking analysis of the vici
 ous cycles of American history and the country’s enduring refusal to fac
 e its true nature—especially at the moments when national anniversaries 
 steer us back toward the mythology meant to disguise the truth.\n\n \n\nAm
 erica\, U.S.A.\, deliberately formulated and beautifully written\, details
  a heart-wrenching exploration of America’s legacy. It is a magnificentl
 y complex combination of lessons and voices—from W.E.B. DuBois and John 
 Dos Passos to Herman Melville and Martin Luther King\, Jr.—that\, togeth
 er\, paint a sprawling and honest tableau of the United States\, its compl
 icated past\, and ever more tenuous future. Glaude’s is a powerful voice
  of conscience in our tumultuous world. He pulls no punches\, calling on u
 s to interrogate our conceptions of innocence and freedom and the stories 
 we tell ourselves about our past and present.\n\n \n\nCentered around the 
 major celebrations of America’s milestone birthdays across 250 years of 
 history\, the book offers a riveting look at the battles over who has a st
 ake in writing the American story. Devastatingly candid\, profoundly movin
 g\, and deeply reflective\, America\, U.S.A. is a shining meditation on ho
 w we must reckon with a grim past in order to strive for the better angels
  of our future.\n\n \n\nEddie Glaude will be joined in conversation by The
  Atlantic's senior editor Vann Newkirk. \n\n \n\nAbout the Author: \n\nEdd
