This week on WCLK's The Local Take(Saturdays 8am), we continue our ongoing conversation on justice reform by highlighting the work of a non-profit, The
Slavery By Another Name by Douglas Blackmon examines the intersection between Race and the economy. This book outlines the institutional, systemic and structural racism in our country.
This week on WCLK s The Local Take(Saturdays 8am), I reached out to Professor Douglas A Blackmon about his seminal book
Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II. The book was released in 2008 and awarded the Pulitzer Prize. PBS produced a documentary about the facts Blackmon documented in 2012. If you’re not familiar with either, I encourage you to take in this content to understand better what is going on today. Blackmon, a former writer at the Wall Street Journal, is currently a professor at Georgia State University.
