  • Tuskegee University (map)

Even the quickest glance at the news or scan of the headlines can tell you that we’re living in a country divided. But to understand where we are, we must carefully examine where we’ve come from. Join 2018 NBA Nonfiction Longlister Carol Anderson (One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy) and 2016 NBA Nonfiction Winner Ibram X. Kendi (Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America) for an engaging evening parsing the history of inequality in American ideas, policy, and culture.
