This week, the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation has convened two groups of emerging arts leaders for workshops around the idea of Undoing Racism. Trainers from The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyondexplore how institutional racism has come to be so firmly ensconced in American culture, and what it will take to get rid of it. Tom speaks with Kimberley Richards and Rachael Ibrahim, trainers from The People’s Institute, and A. AdarAyira, a local artist and poet who is on the advisory board of Baltimore Racial Justice Action.
Then, author Jessica Anya Blau joins Tom to discuss her new novel The Trouble with Lexie.
