Race and Slavery in U.S. Museums
Despite the frenzied debates about what history we should be teaching in the United States, until recently most African American and mainstream history museums have continued to tell an uplifting story of racial progress and achievement. The United States has lagged behind museums in many other parts of the world which now give greater attention to recognizing past wrongs and injustices. In the July 7th episode I’ll be talking with Sociology Professor Amy Sodaro from the Borough of Manhattan Community College in the City University of New York about three new museums that feature the history of slavery and racial injustice. This is the subject of her latest book, Lifting the Shadow: Reshaping Memory, Race and Slavery in U.S. Museums.

The Homeless Remembered: Del Seymour’s Story
The problem of homelessness in the United States has reached epic proportions. But how can we understand such a complex issue affecting so many different kinds of people? Writer Alison Owings decided to take on the challenge by exploring the memories of one man, Del Seymour. Del’s story is one of triumph and redemption. He went from living on the streets of San Francisco to becoming known as Mayor of the Tenderloin, the city’s neighborhood with the largest homeless population. Del earned this title not just because of the jobs he created through the Tenderloin Walking Tours, but because of thousands he helped to build new lives through the work of Code Tenderloin. Join me on June 2nd for a conversation with Alison Owings about her book Mayor of the Tenderloin: Del Seymour’s Journey from Living on the Streets to Fighting Homelessness in San Francisco.

Mr. Nobody Against Putin with Katya Haskins
The horrors Russia has been inflicting on Ukraine have sadly become a familiar sight on the daily news. Far less attention has been paid to the consequences of the war for the Russian people. This is the subject of the 2026 Oscar award winning documentary, Mr. Nobody Against Putin. It is the story of an ordinary teacher who risks everything to show the world how the war and Putin’s education policies are destroying the lives of Russia’s youth. To discuss the documentary Katya Haskins will be returning to the podcast. A graduate of Moscow State University who witnessed the final years of the Soviet Union, Katya is a professor of rhetoric and visual studies at Pennsylvania State University. She is the author of Remembering the War, Forgetting the Terror: Appeals to Family Memory in Putin’s Russia. Join me and Katya Haskins on May 5th for a conversation about the documentary, Mr. Nobody Against Putin.
