Host you suggest jodi picoult that Justice Kavanaugh should read your newest book a spark of light. Why is that . Bank is probably one of the most balanced looks at abortion rights and womens reproductive rights that i have found. I worked really hard to make it balanced and i think it would allow him to see other peoples points of view with compassion and empathy and protect roe v wade a little longer. Host you say all points of your represented. House so . So in my book government one a man comes in with a gun and starts shooting and he takes the rest hostage. One of them is the daughter of the hostage negotiator. They all believe Different Things and all points of you are accurately represented. Host how do you storyboard a story like that . That is a question there is a twist to this book is that it is told in reverse. You first see the standoff and every chapter goe ....
They just have kept it to themselves. To can be completely honest when i was listening to the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearing i was thinking a lot about these women. When women dont tell their stories a narrative is visited upon them, one of blame and shame. You did something wrong. You should have known better. I think that to me is the most resonant message from this book, to take back the narrative, the stigma, have to normalize it. One of four women terminate a pregnancy in the course of her lifetime. Putting a face to that instead of casting women as selfish and evil is important in a way to take the narrative back. Host you observe actual abortions. What was that like . Guest we shouldnt talk about abortion and euphemism. Interrupting life process even if you are prochoice you have to recognize that and he feels we should acknowledge that and what was being done during the termination. Invited me into the room to obser ....
Postponed new indepth programs. Instead, we will show you highlights from past programs. First, from november 2018 money. The princeton university, doctor perry is the author of several books putting history of the black National Anthem. Brief, written as a letter to her son. As a portion of that program. People here when you say, i wonder if they hear all white people. They hear white people as individuals as opposed to white men, and i dont think they clung to. They took this identity apart, those people would not sort of have a different history or a body but it would be a different relationship to identity i think it would potentially have as a consequence, a more humane relationship to each other. When i went later when a person an individual can be heaven, it could be a heaven, certainly who was raised by a white man or someone who thinks of figures like for example, john brown or howard or bob who i think are some of the m ....
As a letter to her son. Here is a portion of that program. People here when you say i wonder if i can be irredeemable they hear all white people and they hear them as individuals as opposed to whiteness for the identity. And with the second paragraph so they dont have a different history or a body but a different relationship to identity. So potentially as a consequence a more humane relationship to each other. So what i got to saying a person or individual so certainly like a white man or someone who thinks of those figures i take for example john brown are some of the most precious people in the world. Its important to me not to have a formulation and this is a struggle i am engaged in. One more question before we move on to your other book books, mothering black boys in america is a special calling. Yes. My mother said to me and i think about it a number of different ways and one is of course all the risk as people talk incessantly that it is difficult and not necessarily helpful ab ....
So that when i go into the second paragraph where im like what if we took this identity apart, those people would not sort of, have a different history or body. But it would be a different relationship to identity. I think as a consequence, we have a more humane relationship to each other. When i got leader into the first paragraph when im saying an individual can be a heaven. Certainly, both someone who was raised by a white man or as someone who thinks of so many figures like, take for example, john brown. Who i think are some of the most precious people in the world. Its important to me to not have a formulation that removes them. So thats what i was thinking. One more question before we move on to some of your other books. Mothering black boys in america is a special calling. Yeah. Its a sentence my mother said to me. I think about it in a number of different ways. People talk about, in some ways that are difficult and maybe not a really hopeful about the challenges that black boys ....
