36:41Now PlayingAnna Deavere Smith gives a special one-person performance excerpting This Ghost of Slavery, the first play that The Atlantic has published in nearly a century. Afterward, Deavere Smith joins Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss the creative process and extensive research—contemporary interviews with activists, social-justice workers, and young people whose lives have been affected by the criminal-justice system—that brought this vivid and sometimes-painful history to life.
