(10/14/20) Chicago native Michael Fosberg has been working to create a national dialogue on race and identity since 2001, when he launched his one-man autobiographical play Incognito. For the past 15 years, Michael has performed Incognito, his personal history of being raised as a white child and then discovering his biological father is African-American, hundreds of times at public high schools, colleges, corporations, government agencies and community organizations across the country. Using the experience as a springboard, Michael’s latest book “Nobody Wants to Talk About It: Race, Identity and the Difficulties in Forging Meaningful Conversations” chronicles his attempts to do just that in audience Q&A sessions around the country. Join us for a look at why we all need to welcome the difficult discussions about race in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
