Brian Jones In Conversation With Naomi Murakawa: "Black History Is For Everyone"

Wednesday January 28, 2026
6:00 PM

Longtime educator Brian Jones discusses his new book with Naomi Murakawa. Black History Is for Everyone explores how the study of Black history challenges our understanding of race, nation, and the stories we tell about who we are. Black history is under attack from powerful forces that seek to excise it from classrooms, libraries, and the popular imagination. Yet its opponents fail to understand a simple truth: the best education challenges our assumptions, helps us see larger forces at work, and gives us glimpses of alternate futures. In Black History Is for Everyone, Brian Jones offers a meditation on the power of Black history, using his own experiences as a lifelong learner and classroom teacher to question everything—from the radicalism of the American Revolution to the meaning of “race” and “nation.”
