Why we picked this
A memoir about the pull of rural Black family history — the land, the stories, and the question of what you owe the place that made you.
Jason G. Green, a former Obama administration staffer, traces his family’s deep roots in rural Maryland in a memoir that grapples with legacy, land, and the meaning of home. In conversation with Joshua DuBois, Green unpacks what it means to be shaped by a place and a history that the wider world rarely sees.
The book draws on family oral history, archival research, and Green’s own experience navigating between the world he grew up in and the corridors of power in Washington. It is a story about what gets passed down and what gets lost.
The event is free at Politics and Prose’s Wharf location.
