Eddie S. Glaude Jr. with Joan Robinson Berry: We Are The Leaders We Have Been Looking For

Eddie S. Glaude Jr. discusses his new book—a politically astute, lyrical meditation on how ordinary people can break loose from their reliance on a small group of professional politicians and assume individual responsibility for a more just and perfect democracy. The New York Times bestselling author and distinguished professor of African-American Studies at Princeton draws from the lives and work of James Baldwin, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Toni Morrison (among others) to inspire ordinary citizens towards greater social impact.
