Jamelle Bouie is a New York Times columnist who writes about politics through the lens of American political history. Thursday night, Bouie gave a lecture at UC Riverside as part of a nearly 60 year tradition of bringing the country's best known journalists to Riverside. He told the audience the United States is asking fundamental questions like what it means to be an American.
