The bestselling book, "The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together," tells stories of racism at the root of our most complicated issues, like white communities burying their lavish public pools instead of sharing them with their Black neighbors.
In the new podcast, also titled The Sum of Us, Heather McGhee discovers the stories of everyday Americans who are working to build multi-racial communities to rally against the racist policies, practices and ideas built into our society. McGhee comes with some examples, and explains how the podcast differs from and continues the goal of her original book.
