Doreen St. Felix, staff writer for The New Yorker, discusses her new piece, “The Farce, and the Grandeur, of Black History Month Under Trump.” St. Felix looks at the superficial nature and commercial appropriation of Black History Month. She also charts her own path of learning about Black History, from high school curricula that oversimplified figures like George Washington Carver and Harriet Tubman, to finding an intellectual home as an undergrad in Brown University’s Africana Studies Department. Listeners, tweet at or call us about what you wish your school taught you about Black History! This segment is guest hosted by Hari Kondabolou.
