Witness the Conversation of The Year. Presented by Baldwin & Co.

There are thinkers… and then there are truth-tellers.
Eddie S. Glaude Jr. is both.

A New York Times bestselling author. A leading voice of moral clarity in America. A scholar who refuses to let this country hide from itself.

And for one night only—he’s coming to Baldwin & Co.

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating America, U.S.A.: How Race Shadows the Nation's Anniversaries—a bold, unflinching work that challenges the stories we tell about race, freedom, and the myths that shape this nation.

But this won’t be your typical author talk.

Eddie S. Glaude Jr. will be in conversation with Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist Charles Blow—a voice just as fearless, just as incisive.

And together, they won’t just talk—they’ll interrogate.

Layered with live musical elements, this will be a musical book conversation—a dynamic, immersive experience that blends ideas, sound, and storytelling into something you don’t just hear… you feel.

Drawing on voices like W. E. B. Du Bois and Martin Luther King Jr., Glaude confronts a sobering truth: America doesn’t just celebrate its history—it curates it. And often, it does so to avoid the reckoning required to move forward.

This is not a comfortable conversation.
It’s a necessary one.

And you have the rare opportunity to be in the room.

To witness two of the most important voices of our time—live.
To experience a conversation that moves between intellect and emotion, history and sound.
To meet a writer who will be studied, quoted, and revered for generations.

Years from now, people will talk about this era—
the questions, the tensions, the reckoning.

The only question is: were you in the room?

Tickets will move fast.
Moments like this don’t repeat themselves.

Secure your seat now.
Be present.
Be challenged.
Be part of history.
