In this episode of Colors: A Dialogue on Race in America, Dina Curtis traces her family’s journey from Mound Bayou, Mississippi, the oldest continuously all-Black town in the U.S. and the civil rights legacy of Memphis to her adult life in Washington. She reflects on ancestry, education, migration, resilience, and the uneasy reality that many old battles over race, power, and belonging are returning in new forms. It is a candid, deeply personal conversation about history, democratic backsliding, and what it takes to stay grounded, engaged, and hopeful in a turbulent America.
