Buckle up! I got to sit down with professor Cedric Johnson and we discussed a variety of topics that ranged from the last days of Trump, BLM, is COVID-19 a "black problem"? We of course went into the recent uprisings over police killings and even his early activist days in Louisiana! A good dude, fascinating insight, enjoy the conversation with Professor, Leftist, Socialist, Father, Author, Intellectual, Cedric Johnson.

Cedric Johnson is associate professor of African American studies and political science at the University of Illinois at Chicago and editor of The Neoliberal Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, Late Capitalism and the Remaking of New Orleans (University of Minnesota Press, 2011).
