Tomorrow! 📚🎙️
What an honor it was speaking to Chris Jansing @msnowreports.bsky.social about Reverend Jesse Jackson's presidential runs, and his impact on the Civil Rights Movement! Lots of resonance with my forthcoming book's themes on how African Americans value the presidency.
CPH Senior Fellow Sharron Conrad appeared on @ms.now to reflect on the life and work of Rev. Jesse Jackson, and on the significance of three presidents being in attendance at his memorial service. www.ms.now/chris-jansin...
So glad my talk on *Entangled Alliances* got rescheduled after the January ice storm. 📚
Monday, 3/9, @ronajohnson.bsky.social joins the CPH to discuss his new book, Entangled Alliances
