Peniel E. Joseph Reviews

  • Dr. Joseph was next level - his ability to mix his deep scholarly research and knowledge with a preacher-like delivery was something to experience. His message is so important, and he delivered it in a way that allowed us all to really sit in some hard topics, while still feeling inspired that we could be a part of a better tomorrow. He was magnanimous, and incredibly generous with his time, staying to sign every last book at our reception well after he was scheduled to leave. He also received a standing ovation at the end of the program - which doesn't happen for just any historian!

    This year's Book Award winner is "The Third Reconstruction: America's Struggle for Racial Justice in the Twenty-First Century" by historian Peniel Joseph. The book offers a powerful interpretation of recent history, arguing that the racial reckoning of 2020 marked the climax of a Third Reconstruction: a new struggle for citizenship and dignity for Black Americans, just as momentous as the movements that arose after the Civil War and during the civil rights era.
