Being Black in America, part 1: You call this progress?

In this first of a multi-part series, Laurie talks with two former students about what it is really like to grow up Black in today's America. While the Black Lives Matter movement gained momentum and support last year beyond communities of color, the enthusiasm for justice has already waned. And it's not helping Black Americans feel confident in true change.

Estate Sale: the selling out of American democracy
American institutions are under attack...and that means our democracy is at stake.
Democracy depends on a free press, a government for the people, a just legal system and separate-but-free church.

Yet, we have a corrupt U.S. president, a partisan Supreme Court, a power-hungry white evangelical bloc and a lazy press - which is revealing just how much our American values are being sold out.

With a lot of informative guests and a few F-bombs, co-hosts Laurie Lattimore-Volkmann and Brad Raley are going to change that.
