Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom – MacArthur Genius award winner and brilliant chronicler of our times – unmasks the American stories that got us to this place—and explains, with amazing precision and clarity, how we can imagine our way out.
We discuss:

- How money hijacked democracy;
- The little-known history of the Black Panther party of the American South;
- Why Responsibility is Freedom;
- How to frame and reclaim the American story through radical humanity: art, truth, creativity, and community.
Join us for this riveting, smart, funny conversation about power, hope, and writing a freer future.
