T O D AY ’ S S P E A K E R Dr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr. is a passionate educator, author, political commentator and public intellectual who examines the complex dynamics of the American experience. His well-known writings include “Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul,” “In a Shade of Blue: Pragmatism and the Politics of Black America,” and most recently, the New York Times bestseller and 2021 Stowe Prize-winner, “Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own.” Together, his books provide an original look at Black communities, the complexities of race in the United States and the challenges we face as a democracy. Dr. Glaude is the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor and chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton. One of the nation’s most prominent scholars of religion, he is a former president of the American Academy of Religion. His books on religion and philosophy include “An Uncommon Faith: A Pragmatic Approach to the Study of African American Religion,” “African American Religion: A Very Short Introduction” and “Exodus! Religion, Race and Nation in Early 19th Century Black America,” which was awarded the Modern Language Association’s William Sanders Scarborough Book Prize. Dr. Glaude is on the Morehouse College Board of Trustees. He frequently appears in the media, including as a columnist for TIME Magazine and as an MSNBC contributor on programs like “Morning Joe” and “Deadline Whitehouse.” He also regularly appears on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Combining a scholar’s knowledge of history and theology, a political commentator’s perspective on the latest events and an activist’s passion for social justice, Dr. Glaude challenges all of us to examine our collective American conscience.
