Apr 7, 2023 11:46:51 AM


Dr. Greg Carr, Associate Professor at Howard University and host of "In Class with Carr" and "The Black Table," joins us to honor the life, legacy, and lessons of activist and author Randall Robison.

A leader and activist, Robison wrote "The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks," where he called for America to teach the history of Africa and its people, and outlines what he said white Americans owe Black folks and what Black people owe each other. 

In this episode, host Shayna Terrell and Dr. Carr discuss the life and legacy of Randall Robison, the movement for reparations, the teaching of accurate history, and what it means to be an American citizen.
