How to Be an Antiracist: Ibram X. Kendi
- This is a past program
Guggenheim Fellow and National Book Award–winner Ibram X. Kendi re-energizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice. In his 2019 book, How to Be an Antiracist, he weaves together an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science—including the story of his own awakening to antiracism—bringing it all together as “a confessional of self-examination that may, in fact, be our best chance to free ourselves from our national nightmare” (Jeffrey Stewart). Kendi is joined in conversation by Shaniqua McClendon, political director for Crooked Media.
