Personal and Public: The Complex Legacies of Race in America
Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor, Justin Ellis and Dorothy Roberts discuss race and family history. Pryor’s Something We Said examines a charged word and her father Richard Pryor’s use of it; Ellis’s The Cruelty of Nice Folks reports on discrimination in progressive Minneapolis; and Roberts, a MacArthur Fellow, recounts her parents’ interracial marriage in The Mixed Marriage Project. Noelle N. Trent, president of the Museum of African American History, moderates.
