Theodore R. Johnson: If We Are Brave

Join us via Zoom or Facebook live on Thursday, January 30th from 7-8:30pm EST.

We claim to be a nation founded on an idea. But, especially in these times of civic rupture, are we even all talking about the same idea?

Contributing Washington Post opinion writer Dr. Ted Johnson joins us again to discuss his beautiful, powerful new book “If We are Brave: Essays of Black Americana.” This program will be facilitated by Dr. Nashid Madyun, the Executive Director of Florida Humanities.

“Johnson reveals the subtle ways that racialized conceptions of the American identity and the imperfect culture of democracy have hindered our ability to connect with one another”

Learn more about the program online here. This program is part of the UNUM: Democracy Reignited series in partnership with Florida Humanities, which explores the past, present and future of the American idea — as it exists on paper, in the hearts of our people, and as it manifests in our lives.
