Faculty Book Discussion, via Zoom: Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own by Eddie Glaude, Ph.D., with Gretchen Jameson, facilitator.

Noon – 1:00 pm Central/1:00 – 2:00 pm Eastern on Fridays September 25, October 23, November 13, and December 4.

“Not everything is lost. Responsibility cannot be lost, it can only be abdicated. If one refuses abdication, one begins again.” James Baldwin

In this “searing, provocative, and ultimately hopeful book,” Eddie Glaude, Jr. the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professors of African American Studies at Princeton University, suggests America can find hope and guidance to (borrowing a phrase from Lincoln) “think anew and act anew.” Begin Again is Glaude’s endeavor, following Baldwin, to bear witness to the difficult truth of race in America today.

From the facilitator: Glaude is unapologetic in his political leaning. Our goal in the book conversation will not be to argue the rightness or wrongness of political policy, but as Christian scholars and leaders, there is something provocative about the idea of claiming the mantle of responsibility, of voluntarily stepping forward to a certain civic accountability in the face of difficult and challenging topics and times.

I read this book on my summer vacation. Sitting alone on the beach and by the pool, I kept wishing I had some peers with whom to talk about what it stirred in me, the questions it let me to ponder, my own sense of responsibility and failed accountability. It will be a delight to gather together with colleagues around this book. I hope you will join us.
