I Am Not Your Negro




Ride the Omnibus show

Summary: Ariel, Ellen, and Sherry sit down to discuss Raoul Peck's I Am Not Your Negro and the words and works of James Baldwin, and how they relate to this moment in American history. Through this documentary and essential quotes, three different generations of educators discuss the importance of Baldwin's work and the imperative to steep oneself in history. Our conversation takes many turns, from the invention of race to the bootstrap myth to the future of our nation, looking within and looking ahead.
