In America, we like to think that we're always talking about race. Like the conversation is happening everywhere, all the time. But race is embedded in society in ways we don't even think about -- just like fish don't see the water they're swimming in. In Race Unwrapped, host Michelle Tyrene Johnson tackles different ways to unwrap and unpack race and identity.

Her series of legal thrillers follows protagonist Avery Keene through the inner workings of the U.S. Supreme Court and beyond. And while you’re turning the pages well into the night, you may also start thinking in new ways about democracy and justice. Abrams joins host Michelle Tyrene Johnson to kick off our fifth season, which is all about art as protest.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Learn more about Stacey Abrams’ work at </span><a href="http://staceyabrams.com" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">staceyabrams.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>This season of Race Unwrapped is supported by the <a href="https://kcaah.org/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">Kentucky Center for African American Heritage</a>, and by our listeners. <a href="http://wfpl.org/supportraceunwrapped" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">Click here</a> to help make this work possible!</p>
