They will also share stories about his attendance at social media conferences like Blogalicious, his live blogging at the Obama administration’s national conference on aging, and social justice activism that are published in his new memoir, “American Change Agent: A Life and Legacy of Seeking Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion.”
