Four leading African American Studies scholars come together for what is sure to be an impassioned discussion about contemporary black issues, and an exploration of ideas of how African-American communities might reinvigorate democratic life in post-Obama America with imagination and courage. 

Expect this conversation to explore black politics, state violence/poverty, and various social movements. 

A Q&A will follow the conversation.

Books by all authors will be for sale before and after the event.

Marc Lamont Hill will sign copies of 'Nobody: Casualties of America’s War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond.'  Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor will sign copies of 'From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation.'

The event is free and open to the public.

The Department of African American Studies will stream this conversation live at aas.princeton.edu.
