A perfect choice for the Kluge Prize and a wonderful celebration Friday. Congratulations Anthony @KAnthonyAppiah and Librarian Hayden @LibnOfCongress
Dr. Appiah’s philosophical work is elegant & groundbreaking. His writing about race & identity transcends predictable categories & encourages dialogue across traditional divisions. He is an ideal recipient for the Kluge Prize & we were proud to celebrate him Friday evening.

Looking forward to being part of the tour in conversation with @NickKristof 5/16. Harvard Bookstore! The book is gripping and inspiring. Can’t wait to hear more from Nick about it.
I do hope my book tour for "Chasing Hope" goes better than Kristi Noem's book tour.
