As America grows increasingly polarized along many axes of division, race has emerged as a particularly salient and lasting one. How can the United States overcome racism to deliver on the American Promise enshrined in our Constitution that all men and women are inherently equal? What lessons for building national solidarity we learn from the exceptional citizenship long practiced in Black America? Join DFN for a conversation with Theodore R. Johnson, author of When the Stars Begin to Fall: Overcoming Racism and Renewing the Promise of America. In his new book, Ted weaves memories of his own and his family's multi-generational experiences with racism, alongside strands of history, to make a compelling argument for national solidarity as a key part of the solution to America's racial woes.
