EDDIE GLAUDE JR. & MAYA WILEY ON AMERICAN LEADERS – NONFICTION

EDDIE GLAUDE JR.’s We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For argues that the hard work of becoming a better person should be a critical feature of Black politics. Through virtuoso interpretations of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Ella Baker, Glaude shows how we have the power to be the heroes that our democracy needs. In MAYA WILEY’s Remember, You Are a Wiley, she recounts growing up in a household that prioritized activism, hope, and resilience above all else, and speaks about surviving trauma, the power of activism, and remaining optimistic in the face of adversity. Time after time she has confronted death, injustice, and indifference, just as her civil rights activist parents did before her.
