Here at The Root we’ve always loved, praised, and centered Black literature in the broader conversation. Each week host Maiysha Kai sits down with an author we love to talk about their work, what inspires them, and what they hope to contribute to the culture at large. Guests so far include Nikole Hannah Jones, Brittney Cooper, Stacey Abrams, Ibram X. Kendi, Ijeoma Oluo, Morgan Jerkins, and Claudia Rankine.
Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones joins us for our very first episode of The Root Presents: It's Lit! Tune in to hear her talk about the development and progression of the 1619 project, the immense debt that is owed to Black Americans, and the importance of reframing history and our electoral process in a more honest way.
