IF WE ARE BRAVE
We claim to be a nation founded on an idea. But, especially in these times of civic rupture, are we even all talking about the same idea?
Contributing Washington Post opinion writer Dr. Ted Johnson joins us again to discuss his beautiful, powerful new book “If We are Brave: Essays of Black Americana.”
“Johnson reveals the subtle ways that racialized conceptions of the American identity and the imperfect culture of democracy have hindered our ability to connect with one another”
UNUM is presented in partnership with Florida Humanities
