This, after all, is happening in a supposedly free society, which sells its image of equality for all. That in itself is the confusion that needs better clarification.

The Key Questions In This Episode:

• Why are racism and discrimination so deep in America?
• As an African diaspora, do you know what is stacked up against you?
• And why do you need to learn about your history as a people?

To educate us on these and other questions, we are going to be relying on a Visiting Associate Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Kenja Mccray Ph.D.
