Black History Month February- Part 10 Concluding Remarks on Let Nobody Turn Us Around: An African American Anthology

In this podcast I summarize some of the main ideas from my 10 part examination of Let Nobody Turn Us Around: An African American Anthology while describing briefly why America needs a new left or must form a new coalition, like it did in the past, to confront the political and economic crisis it is facing today.
