#BlackHistoryMonth Day 3 book 3: “Kings and Pawns,” Howard Bryant’s latest contribution to untangling intersections of race, politics, sports and celebrity. Robeson and Robinson, both strong Black men caught in the crosshairs of US-style white supremacy.

#BlackHistoryMonth Day 2, Book 2: Brian Gilmore’s new cultural and intellectual journey through a century and a half of African artists in Washingon DC, “No More Worlds to Conquer: The Black Poet in Washington DC.” A cultural and political history through a poet’s eyes.
