In solidarity with #BlackLivesMatter and #AmplifyMelanatedVoices, we are continuing to highlight conversations from our archives that feature black thinkers, activists, and writers. This week we are revisiting our first podcast, recorded on April 10, 2015, with public intellectual and world-renowned author of Race Matters, Dr. Cornel West. In this episode Dr. Cornel West is in conversation with former CIIS Dean of Diversity and Inclusion Denise Boston about the burdens black men carry in society. We hope that listening to this episode, and Revisiting Series as a whole, provides resources and connection in these transformative times. You can find all five of these episodes and more on the Recommended page at ciispod.com or by subscribing to this podcast.
