    When #BlackLivesMatter went viral in 2013, it shed a light on the urgent, daily struggles of Black Americans to combat racial injustice.  The message resonated with millions across the country.  Yet many of our political, social, and economic institutions are still embedded with racist policies and practices that devalue black lives.  
     
    Tehama Lopez Bunyasi co-author of  STAY WOKE: A People’s Guide to Making All Black Lives Matter (NYU Press, joins Mark to  shed light on the evolving effort to bring attention to the precarious nature of Black lives in the United States. Delving into history from Reconstruction through Jim Crow, and taking a hard look at today’s troubling political and social climate, the authors expose the deep roots of structural racism in America and its enduring, pervasive impact on racial inequality.  Tehama discusses the staggering statistics and data to document how Black men, women, and children are disadvantaged and devalued by negative stereotypes, discrimination, and segregation in every sector and aspect of life—from criminal justice to housing, education, and unemployment.

    About: Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is a disorder in which muscle tissue and connective tissue such as tendons and ligaments are gradually replaced by bone (ossified), forming bone outside the skeleton (extra-skeletal or heterotopic bone) that constrains movement. This process generally becomes noticeable in early childhood, starting with the neck and shoulders and proceeding down the body and into the limbs.
