A Word: Wrong from the Beginning
The teaching of Black history has been under increasing political attack in recent years. But the version of African American history taught –even to Black people– has always been incomplete. On today’s episode of A Word, Jason Johnson is joined by columnist Michael Harriot to discuss his new book, Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America. They discuss the inspiration for the book, the most persistent myths of race and racism, and fighting the backlash against Black history.
Guest: Michael Harriot, author of Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America
Podcast production by Kristie Taiwo-Makanjuola
