Summary
As the US prepares to celebrate 250 years since its founding, Kai Wright sits down with Eddie Glaude Jr, a Princeton University professor, to talk about the conflicts at the heart of the American project. Glaude argues that Black Americans have played a vital role in establishing the country, but their presence is a constant reminder that the American fantasy – the story of a white republic – doesn’t exist. He and Kai discuss how the Trump administration has normalized white supremacist rhetoric and the myriad ways the president is trying to whitewash history. Glaude’s book America, USA: How Race Shadows the Nation's Anniversaries , is out now. • 'We’re witnessing the end of the America that made our lives possible’: author Eddie Glaude on US’s 250th birthday Trump is desecrating the Lincoln memorial - a civic sacred ground Hosted on Acast.
