- Music Commentary
Dave and Mickey discuss the recent backlash to Nikole Hannah-Jones and the New York Times’ 1619 Project and President Donald Trump’s announcing of a Patriotic Education Commission, which Mickey describes as an initiative to “Make Education Great Again.” They give a quick introduction to the 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory and put them into historical context of landmark texts like W.E.B. DuBois’s "Black Reconstruction in America" and Carter Woodson’s "The Miseducation of the Negro."
