Awakened in America
How did we get here? A constructive dialogue on the awakening of our minds to the issues of Black America. Often citing Dr. Ibram X. Kendi (author of "How to be an Antiracist") and Dr. Robin DiAngelo (author of "White Fragility"), the hosts strive to inspire conversation and action amongst White Progressives and People of Color around the Black Lives Matter Movement.
