Starting today, you can stream the podcast Backlash on Audible! Listen now at: https://lnkd.in/enzsqyUP Every episode tells a story of a backlash against movements of progress during the Civil Rights era - from the riots against integration in Boston public schools, to the gun control bill in California passed specifically to disarm the Black Panthers. Taken together, these stories reveal how inequity remains threaded into our everyday, trouble standard narratives of American history and political progress, and center the voices of organizers and scholars who teach us about what progress actually looks like. And, also, the show is hosted by me!? Working on this project was easily one of most challenging things I've ever done. It was also one of the most edifying. I'm grateful for the people I interviewed for this show, who shared their stories, revealed histories I never knew existed, challenged my thinking, and helped me see our world in a clearer, sharper way. They changed the way I thought about time, about history, about how we build better worlds, and about what building better worlds even means. Finally - so many people were involved in bringing this show to your ears, and I am so grateful to all of them. In particular, I am forever indebted to the team that worked on this show with me - editor extraordinaire Lindsey Kratochwill and powerhouse producers Grace Lynch, Taylor Williamson, and Abbey Delk. This show simply would not exist without their excellent work, thought, and care. I'm also so thankful for Ana De Almeida Amaral and Asia Ewart, MA for their contributions and fact-checking prowess, to Chelsea Daniel for composing the theme music of my dreams, to Emily Rudder for believing in my ideas and pushing me to share them, to Aria Goodman for the most lovely looking show art, and to Wonder Media Network and Audible for making this show real and possible. I hope you listen! And I hope you enjoy.
