Discussion, Q &A and book signing with Ben Jealous former NAACP President, University of Pennsylvania Professor of Practice and Author of "Never Forget Our People Were Always Free"

Never Forget Our People Were Always Free illuminates for each of us how the path to healing America's broken heart starts with each of us having the courage to heal our own. Ben Jealous' courageous and empathetic storytelling calls on every American to look past divisions and recognize we're all in the same boat now. Jealous grapples with hidden American mysteries, including: Why do white men die from suicide more often than black men die from murder? How did racial profiling kill an American president? Why shouldn't the civil rights movement give up on rednecks? Told as a series of parables, "Never Forget Our People Were Always Free" features intimate glimpses of political, and faith leaders as different as Jack Kemp and the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and heroes as unlikely as a retired constable. More than anything, "Never Forget Our People Were Always Free" offers readers hope America's oldest wounds can heal and her oldest divisions be overcome.
