24:39Now PlayingAs the 2016 presidential election closed in, questions about power, race, and abandonment were already on the table. Long before today’s headlines, the warning signs were clear.
On Left of Black, hosted by Dr. Mark Anthony Neal at the John Hope Franklin Center at Duke University, scholar and journalist Marc Lamont Hill breaks down the election, media narratives, and his book Nobody: Casualties of America’s War on the Vulnerable. Hill connects Ferguson, Flint, and forgotten communities to a larger system that decides whose lives matter and whose don’t. This conversation still hits hard because the people labeled “nobody” are still paying the price.
This episode of 'Left of Black' was originally broadcast Oct 17, 2016.
