EPISODE THIRTY-FIVE of The Race to Social Justice Podcast series, produced with my colleague, Keva White, and just released, introduces Jacqueline Jones Royster, academic scholar and author, and Gene Kansas, cultural developer, preservationist and social entrepreneur. Hear how their collaborative talents are helping restore “Sweet Auburn”, an historic African-American community in Atlanta, Georgia.
Episode #22: David Mura (a Japanese-American and accomplished poet, writer, critic, and playwright) recounts his transformation from assimilation as a youth to embracing his own color as an adult and shares historical, literary and ethical narratives from his new book that unmask how white stories about race erase the brutality of the past and underpin systemic racism in the present.
