Author Talk with Mike Green (Central Point Library)

As America approaches its 250th year, the nation stands at a crossroads—celebrating its founding while still wrestling with the unfinished work of its promises. America 250: Through the Lens of Black American History invites readers to see the American story with deeper clarity, tracing the powerful, often overlooked struggle to make freedom real for everyone.
From the civilizations that flourished on this land long before the nation had a name, to the revolutions that reshaped its destiny, to the unfinished movement for equity and belonging in our own time, this compelling narrative reveals a central truth: the story of Black America is not a side chapter of the nation’s history—it is one of its driving forces.
Through vivid storytelling, historical insight, and moral urgency, Mike Green presents the three great American revolutions—Independence, Emancipation, and the Negro Revolution—as chapters in an ongoing journey toward a more just society. The question is no longer whether history shapes the present. It is whether we will shape the future with the knowledge we now hold.
This is more than a history book.
It is an invitation—to remember, to understand, and to help finish the work of building an America worthy of its highest ideals.
Mike Green is a cultural economist and co-founder of Common Ground Conversations on Race in America (CGC). An audience Q&A and book signing will follow the presentation and reading.
