What is the ongoing relevance of the Black Lives Matter movement particularly as the nation heads back to the polls for the upcoming 2020 election?
In this episode of Left of Black, host Dr. Mark Anthony Neal discusses the movement with Candis Watts Smith, co-author of Stay Woke: A People’s Guide to Making All Black Lives Matter (NYU Press, 2019), which noted scholar Robin D.G. Kelley says “Lays bare the common sense assumptions that both sustain and obscure racism..Makes it impossible for anyone to sleep on ‘Black Lives Matter’ and the ongoing struggle to end racism as we know it.“ Smith is Associate Professor of Political Science and African American Studies at Penn State University.
