We're taking a break from guest hosts this week (a break from a break? I
don't know, roll with me) to talk with Austin Channing Brown. Austin's new
book I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness is
phenomenal, and we talk about a lot of the same topics here: what does
'racial reconciliation' really mean? What can we learn from talking
honestly about our past? What's the difference between individual bigotry
and institutional racism? Can niceness be harmful? Why did Austin's parents
name her Austin? We talk about all of this and more.
