Andre Perry, David M. Rubenstein fellow in the Metropolitan Policy Program, discusses the legacy of notable black Americans, like historian Carter G. Woodson, the dangers of relegating black history to a single month, and the need to pursue inclusion in America’s shared history and society.
This audio comes from Perry’s essay, “When black history isn’t relegated to a single month,” which was originally produced by The Hechinger Report, a nonprofit, independent news organization focused on inequality and innovation in education.
