Ralph Eubanks has studied Mississippi history over a long and distinguished academic and professional career. His talk focuses on the power and significance of documentary narrative and the idea that Mississippi's state flag is perpetuating a false narrative about his home state. Ralph Eubanks is the author of The House at the End of the Road: The Story of Three Generations of an Interracial Family in the American South (HarperCollins, 2009) and Ever Is a Long Time: A Journey Into Mississippi’s Dark Past (Basic Books, 2003), which The Washington Post book critic Jonathan Yardley named as one of the best nonfiction books of the year. He has contributed articles to The Washington Post Outlook and Style sections, The Wall Street Journal, WIRED, The New Yorker, and National Public Radio.
Mr. Eubanks has served as a visiting professor at The University of Mississippi and Millsaps College and has also contributed articles to the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, WIRED, the New Yorker, and National Public Radio. He is a recipient of a 2007 Guggenheim Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and has been a fellow at the New America Foundation and director of publishing at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. from 1995 to 2013.
