The following was submitted by the Mystic Valley Area Branch NAACP.

On Monday, June 1, the Mystic Valley Area Branch NAACP presents “An Evening with Author Dr. Eddie Glaude Jr.” at the Regent Theatre, 7 Medford St., Arlington, at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m., for the release of his new book, “America, U.S.A. – How Race Shadows the Nation's Anniversaries”

Tickets include a signed copy of “America, U.S.A.”

One of the nation’s most prominent scholars, Dr. Eddie Glaude Jr. is Princeton’s James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of African American Studies, as well as a TIME Magazine columnist and frequent guest on programs such as “Morning Joe” and “Deadline: White House” on MS Now (formerly MSNBC) and “Meet the Press” on NBC.

Glaude is the New York Times bestselling author of “Begin Again” and “We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For.”

“America, U.S.A.,” is a timely, rich, exploration of America’s legacy and the hard truths of this nation’s past — as America approaches its 250th anniversary. Glaude is a powerful voice of conscience in our tumultuous world, calling on us to interrogate our conceptions of innocence and freedom and the stories we tell ourselves about our past and present.

The work of the Mystic Valley Area Branch NAACP is rooted in righting America’s wrongs, with a focus on ensuring political, educational, social, and economic equality for ALL persons and eliminating race-based discrimination. The organization strives to better understand the past, in order to work towards a more equitable and just future.

Glaude appears by special arrangement with Newton-based American Program Bureau.
