Slavemasters In Your Neighborhood with Clint Smith (May 2021)

The debates over U.S. monuments that celebrate Confederate generals, soldiers, and politicians show just how pervasive slavery's legacy is - and how it continues to impact the way Black America moves and exists in the world today. In May 2021, Jay sat down with author/poet Clint Smith to discuss this and more on this episode of the Best of Black History Year. __________________________ Black History Year (BHY) is produced by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company.
