We were grateful for the chance to sit down today with Professor Eddie Glaude, a distinguished public intellectual who is a regular commentator on MSNOW, a New York Times bestselling author, and publisher of the “A Native Son” newsletter here on Substack. Eddie was with us at our public theology conference in New Haven last week, where he shared a powerful reflection on our moral crisis. You can read that on his Substack and hear him in conversation with other panelists on Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s Lucid Substack.
Next month, Eddie will publish America, U.S.A.: How Race Shadows the Nation’s Anniversaries, a meditation on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It was a gift to talk to him about it today, and we’re grateful for the chance to share our conversation with you here.
