Menace of the Midway

Dr. Carol François and Kourtney Square take you into unexplored territory to unlearn what you thought you knew about American history and being Black/African American in the United States. Episodes examine how systemic racism is steeped into every institution of American life from education, business/labor, healthcare, housing, religion, criminal justice, pop culture, and politics. The end goal is to arm listeners to see, say, and confront systemic racism.
