Coming on February 3, 2026: My new book, "Freedom Lost, Freedom Won: A Personal History of America." It looks at two centuries of U.S. history through the eyes of one African American family -- my family -- starting with a great-great-grandfather who freed himself before the Civil War. Like other Black families, my ancestors fought again and again to win the right to pursue the American dream -- only to have that freedom brutally taken away.

Our Hidden Conversations, by award-winning journalist @Michele_Norris, is a remarkable book. By letting Americans of every walk of life share their deepest, most personal—and sometimes contradictory—attitudes on race, it takes us past the usual polarizing debates and points us toward the possibility of greater understanding.

Our Hidden Conversations by @michele_norris offers an honest, if sometimes uncomfortable, conversation about race and identity, permitting us to eavesdrop on deep-seated thoughts, private discussions, and long submerged memories. On-sale today: spr.ly/6013u4JAv
