This week, we\u2019re doing a number of episodes around the history of\u2026 Black History Month.

\n\n

In 1965, two of America\u2019s leading intellectuals debated the question of race \u2014 first in front of a packed university audience, and then on national television.

\n\n

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Nick Buccola of Linfield University to talk about James Baldwin and William F. Buckley and their riveting debates over civil rights, race, and the American dream.

\n\n

Nick Buccola is the author of \u201cThe Fire Is Upon Us,\u201d a chronicle of the debates.
