Lecture and book signing featuring former Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke. Bridging the Divide traces Edward Brooke’s meteoric rise from Boston lawyer to Massachusetts Attorney General to the first popularly elected African American U.S. senator in 1966.

The only African American senator ever to be elected to a second term, Brooke established a reputation for independent thinking and challenged the powerbrokers and presidents of the day in defense of the poor and disenfranchised.

In this autobiography, he details the challenges that confronted African American men of his generation and reveals his desire to be measured not as a black man in a white society but as an individual in a multiracial society.
