EPISODE #73 - This Fantastic Fellas Friday – We celebrate Dr. Ibram X Kendi.  Named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020.  He is an Author, Professor, Anti-racist Activist, Historian of Race and Discriminatory Policy in America, Director of the Center for Anti-racist Research at Boston University, just to name a few things he is.  For theses reasons and more, I want to celebrate this Black History Fantastic Fella.  He quotes “Being an antiracist requires persistent self-awareness, constant self-criticism, and regular self-examination.” 

His new book Four Hundred Souls co-edited with Keisha N. Blain, who is an award-winning historian, professor, and writer. She is currently an Associate Professor of History at the University of Pittsburgh, the President of the African American Intellectual History Society, and an editor for The Washington Post's "Made by History" section.  Dr. Kendi attended Stonewall Jackson High School and currently Stonewall Jackson’s Great Great Grandson wants to rename the school after Dr. Kendi.  KKK’s David Duke’s Godson Derrick read one of Dr. Kendi’s books and switched from being a racist to being antiracist.  Now that is being influential!  WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?  LINKS BELOW FOR: APPLE, GOOGLE, PANDORA, AND SPOTIFY.
