History tells another story, though. Today\u2019s guest is going to help us get to the heart of the matter. Dr. Dianne Stewart is a\xa0 professor of religion and African American studies at Emory University. \u202fInspired by her research and teaching in\xa0Black love studies, much of her work examines the structural forces that, across four centuries, have made coupling and marriage difficult for Black people.\n\nBHY is produced by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company - hit us up at BlackHistoryYear.com and share this with your people!
