Republicans have declared war on "wokeism," but what does being “woke” actually mean? On our newest episode, Yochi and The Raben Group's Jasmine Burton sit down with Dr. Candis Watts Smith, a Duke University professor and author of the new book, “Stay Woke: A People's Guide to Making All Black Lives Matter," to talk about the forgotten history of the word, how conservatives are trying to make "woke" as politically toxic as critical race theory, and what progressives need to do to reclaim it before it's too late.
