  • Celebrating James Baldwin's 100th Birthday

    Celebrating James Baldwin's 100th Birthday
    Jul 30 2024
    James Baldwin is one of the most celebrated American writers of the 20th century. He wrote novels, essays, short stories, poetry, and even a screenplay. He's best known for his affecting prose, his depth of thought, and his clear moral vision for the country.

    Some 40 years after his death, much of what he had to say about America continues to resonate.

    This week, Baldwin would have turned 100 years old. In a moment when Democracy is at risk, when wars abroad are being protested at home, when race continues to shape American politics, what can we learn from Baldwin about this moment that's not so different from his own?

  • 'If You Can Keep It': Memes And Making Sense Of Political Moments

    'If You Can Keep It': Memes And Making Sense Of Political Moments
    Jul 29 2024
    It's been a week since Vice President Kamala Harris seemingly fell out of a coconut tree... and into her spot as the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.

    President Biden's decision to bow out of the race, paired with swift and enthusiastic Harris endorsements from high-ranking Democrats has breathed new energy into the campaign.

    Another thing that's helping? The endless flood of memes that show the vice president dancing, clapping, giving a thorough Thanksgiving turkey recipe, and of course, laughing. But where did these memes come from?

    We discuss how meme are helping voters make sense of this moment in politics.
