In Conversation: Abby Phillip

Join CAAM for a conversation with Van Lathan and CNN’s Abby Phillip about her book, A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power. In this new book, Phillip explores Jesse Jackson’s groundbreaking presidential campaigns of the 1980s, which laid the foundation for today’s Democratic coalition and reshaped the possibilities of American politics. The evening will feature a discussion of Jackson’s enduring legacy and Phillip’s perspective as a leading journalist of her generation, with a book signing following the talk.
