12:38Now PlayingDid integration do more harm than good for Black communities? On his podcast What Now?, Trevor Noah asked the taboo question: Was integration a mistake? He argues that Black communities lost economic power, institutions, and self-sufficiency, while sociologist Ruha Benjamin (Princeton University) breaks down why integration may have *weakened* rather than strengthened Black America.
In this NIGHT SCHOOL excerpt, Marc Lamont Hill and guests dive deep into whether integration was the best path after the Civil Rights Movement—or if a different strategy could have created a stronger, more self-sustaining Black community.
Was integration a setup for failure? Is there a better way forward? Watch now and weigh in on the conversation!
