Reparations. How much does the general public know about this
topic?
On this episode, Allison talks with Dr. Ashley D. Farmer, an
Associate Professor in the Departments of History and African and
Africa Diaspora at the University of Texas at Austin. She is also
the author of Remaking Black Power: How Black Women Transformed an
Era.
Dr. Farmer educates Allison and listeners about the history of
reparations from the original promise of 40 acres & a mule to
current conversations. She focuses especially on the importance of
Callie House and Audley "Queenmother" Moore in furthering the fight
for reparations. Dr. Farmer also discusses the impact reparations
would have on lives of Black women.
The Who's that Lady (from History)? is Alice Allison Dunnigan, the
first African-American White House Correspondent.
