Professor Blight explains how the wisdom and example of Frederick Douglass’s life can help save American democracy in the Age of Trump, separating the myth and legend of Frederick Douglass from the real man, and how studying the Black Freedom Struggle and the color line can help us to better understand how the United States of today came to be.

On this week’s podcast Chauncey reflects on the many interesting happenings in one recent day and what they tell us about our shared humanity and the horrible death–and the Trump regime’s mocking and evil response to it–of a seven-year-old child from Guatemala who recently was stolen away from her family and this world while in the custody of the United States Border Patrol.
