Episode 40: New Old Americans

On episode 40, Charles talks to Wink Twyman Jr. and Jennifer Richmond about their book, 'Letters in Black and White: A New Correspondence on Race in America.' Among the issues discussed: Have our conversations about race got worse despite conditions for African-Americans having improved? Is racial solidarity necessary in a country that once had slavery? Can a focus on 'Old Americans' help everyone move on? Were Wink and Jennifer nervous about having an "authentic conversation" about race? Should others be?
