Her books include Vanguard:  How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the Vote, and Insisted on Equality for All and Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America.

Jones will be in conversation with Cierra Kaler-Jones, a social justice educator and director of storytelling at the Communities for Just Schools Fund.
