announce a special event with author, social critic, comedian, director
of digital at The Onion and Sidwell Friends alum, Baratunde Thurston

March 8 at 7 pm in the Robert L Smith Quaker Meeting House.

This event marks the beginning of a new event partnership between
Politics & Prose and Sidwell that aims to bring a variety of authors and
speakers to the school's main campus on Wisconsin Avenue for events of
interest to the wider community.

Baratunde is a brilliant, funny, and provocative speaker who grew up in
Washington, DC. His insights into race, politics, technology, and
modern culture have inspired, cajoled, and entertained audiences around
the world. Thurston is a frequent commentator on network news programs
and a contributor to many magazines and on-line publications. He has
