In Anchoring Black America, Gordon has dug up highlights of the Black experience from his storied journalistic journey to craft an entertaining and insightful narrative about Black America’s future. A master storyteller, he uncovers never-seen-before archives from stories he's covered over the years. This book offers readers Gordon's unique perspective on many of the biggest news stories of yesterday—from the historic 2008 presidential election, to Nelson Mandela's funeral, to the murder of George Floyd—and insights into today’s leaders such as Barack Obama, Oprah, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Whitney Houston, Tupac Shakur, and his infamous "interview of the century" with O.J. Simpson, why his live interview and dust-up with Donald Trump aide Omarosa Manigault Newman became a viral sensation, a toe-to-toe moment with rap mogul Suge Knight, and why telling "Black" stories is vital to social change.
Funny and poignant, this book will be a page-turner and a motivational, entertaining and informative read from one of America's most respected voices.
