In this special episode, Sean Rios interviews a special guest and they discuss self-identity, racism, and empowerment in Black history. Bringing on the President of the Black Student Union at Dixie State University, they explore the challenges we face when learning about history, dig deeper, and find out the actual events of the past not covered in school. In this conversation, we explore the black experience in this country, as well as how we can potentially draw strength from our history.
“Black history isn’t a separate history. This is all of our history, this is American history, and we need to understand that. It has such an impact on kids and their values and how they view black people.” —Karyn Parsons
