Beyond America’s Racial Fault Line

Join us for an in-person event at the Kelly Writer’s House as we feature Ben Jealous in dialogue about his new book Never Forget Our People Were Always Free: A Parable of American Healing.

 With a premise that the “path to healing America’s broken heart starts with each of us having the courage to heal our own,” the book features “lively parables that call on each of us to reconcile, heal, and work fearlessly to make America one nation.” (HarperCollins)
