Between The World And Me

In this edition of the Bedrosian Book Club Podcast, we’re continuing our conversation about race in America, with the book Toni Morrison calls “required reading.” Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates is ostensibly a letter to his son about growing up a black male in America. This prize winning (GENIUS) correspondent of The Atlantic tackles the very big questions of our time. How do we find a way to live in our country, with all its fraught history and its fraught present? How can he teach his son to be black in America? Coates sheds light on our brutal past, confronts our present with raw lyrical truth, and though our panelists disagree on this point, offers a way forward.
