A Year of Racial Reckoning
The COVID-19 public health crisis—which was especially devastating in Black-majority cities—ran headlong into months of protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd. Has there been a day this year where we haven’t been reminded about how differently society treats Black Americans? It was against this backdrop that Stephen Henderson hosted conversations about race, week after week, with prominent American thinkers, writers, and artists on his radio call-in program Detroit Today on WDET. GUEST: Stephen Henderson, host of Detroit Today on WDET, founding editor of Bridge Detroit, and a Pulitzer-Prize winning editorial page editor at the Detroit Free Press.
