“I am optimistic ultimately because I choose to look at history in centuries and not in days or years or decades,” Ben Jealous said at “Beyond America’s Racial Fault Line.” Highlighted in Penn Today, the event addressed race, politics, and his new book, “Never Forget We Were Always Free: A Parable of American Healing.” The Feb. 1 event at Kelly Writers House in conversation with Camille Z. Charles, the Walter H. and Leonore C. Annenberg Professor in the Social Sciences, was co-sponsored by the School of Social Policy & Practice (SP2), Kelly Writers House, and the Center for Africana Studies. SP2 Dean Sara S. Bachman introduced Jealous. Like his book, “Ben embodies hope,” she said. “He helps us to see the path forward.” Jealous is professor of practice at SP2, the Annenberg School for Communication, and the School of Arts & Sciences, as well as distinguished visiting fellow at Penn Carey Law and executive director of the Sierra Club.
