12/7/15 New York Public Library Book Discussion "Fracture: Barack Obama, the Clintons and the Racial Divide" with Joy-Ann Reid & Alexis Garrett Stodghill

FREE RSVP: info@souleouniverse.com   Monday, December 7, 6:30 - 8:30 PM Mid-Manhattan Library, 455 Fifth Avenue at 40th Street, Sixth Floor, New York, NY 10016   Joy-Ann Reid and Alexis Garrett Stodghill examine the complicated relationship between President Barack Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton, and how their varied approaches to the race issue parallel the challenges facing the Democratic Party. They will investigate the following questions: Will Hillary Clinton's campaign represent an embrace of Obama's legacy or a repudiation of it? How is Hillary Clinton's stand on race both similar to and different from Obama's, or from her husband's? How do minorities view Mrs. Clinton, and will they line up in huge numbers to support her—and what will happen if they don't? This stimulating evening includes ample time for audience Q&A and book signing.
