Let's Be Political Poets with Eddie S. Glaude, Jr.
Rather than “run out the room screamin’”, SNT and Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., American Academic and Princeton African American Studies Chair, purposefully intellectualize about the gutted voting rights act, white supremacy and the value gap, the dire need for critical thinking, and how the current political moment attacks imagination. James Baldwin quotes fly in this episode as these two urgently implore us to fight back and become political poets – right now, in real time, or else.
