Today is the day!
Come honor Black thought and the power of our stories in community with one of today’s most impactful voices.

Join us on Juneteenth for a special meet & greet celebration with professor and bestselling author, Eddie S Glaude Jr. as he signs his new book, America, USA

“Eddie S. Glaude is a powerful voice of conscience in our tumultuous world. He pulls no punches, calling on us to interrogate our conceptions of innocence and freedom and the stories we tell ourselves about our past and present.

Centered around the major celebrations of America’s milestone birthdays across 250 years of history, the book offers a riveting look at the battles over who has a stake in writing the American story. Devastatingly candid, profoundly moving, and deeply reflective, America, U.S.A. is a shining meditation on how we must reckon with a grim past in order to strive for the better angels of our future.”

See you there!

Another reminder about tonight! See you at 7pm for a powerful conversation

MahoganyBooks is thrilled to host one of Washington, DC’s most prominent pastors, Rev. William H. Lamar IV, as we celebrate his debut book, Ancestors: The Names That Bless Us, Curse Us, and Hold Us. Challenging the dominant, white-led theology and politics that deny the liberative ancestor voices of others, Rev. William H. Lamar IV insists on honoring those wise voices of life-giving influence — for when we integrate the voices we call on for ethics, moral courage, and community, we transform our personal and national narratives.
