On Monday, May 8th, the Rainey Center celebrated the publication of Dan Runde's insightful book, The American Imperative: Reclaiming Global Leadership Through Soft Power.
In his timely tome, Runde argues that the United States, in partnership with its friends, allies, the private sector, civil society, and average voters, should seek to be on the side of peoples’ aspirations and hopes as often as possible. The book calls for a fundamental review and rethink of how and why the United States uses soft power and addresses several issues that have emerged over the last several decades.
Rainey’s exhibit is part of a collection that celebrates Black political titans including representatives Shirley Chisholm and Barbara Jordan, Civil Rights icon Rep. John Lewis, and more.
Threats to the U.S. national security are evolving at a rapid pace. Challenges new and old still require vigilance.
