Rising Up with Sonali - 2023-2-7
This week, well turn to Khury Petersen-Smith about what the political attacks on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota mean. Well cover not only the hypocrisy of the GOP, but the capitulation of the Democrats, particularly as it relates to antisemitism, imagined and real. Then, well get a lesson in Black history from Howard Universitys Clarence Lusane. Dr. Lusane will delve deep into the history of the great abolitionist and leader of the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman. His new book is called Twenty Dollars and Change: Harriet Tubman and the Ongoing Fight for Racial Justice and Democracy. Finally, well wrap up the show with a commentary from political prisoner and award winning journalist Mumia Abu Jamal about the police killing of Tyre Nichols.
