Intersectionality Matters!

68. The Battle for America's Memory

Listen Later

At the Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama, Kimberlé Crenshaw is joined by Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative. They explore how museums shape national identity. They also historicize the current political attacks aiming to erase Black narratives, as institutions like the Smithsonian and Whitney Plantation face censorship and defunding because of executive orders.


This episode outlines why defending America's memory is essential to defending democracy itself.
