Saturday, July 31, 2010 ● 4:00 p.m.
Authors’ & Writers’ Lounge ● 3rd Floor |
Acclaimed historian, Dr. William Jelani Cobb, of Spelman College will discuss his latest publication, The Substance of Hope. Dr. Cobb examines the historic election of Barack Obama to the presidency, and the powerful implications it holds for America's political and social landscape. The Substance of Hope is a paradigm-shifting examination of a new generation of voters that has not been shaped by the raw memory of Jim Crow and has a different range of imperatives. This book also challenges conventional wisdom as it offers original insight into America's future.
