In today's episode, Omekongo Dibinga walks Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes through several myths featured in his new book, Lies About Black People. From how the stereotype of "the welfare queen" came to be through how an enslaved Black man taught Jack Daniel to make whiskey, Dibinga breaks down the different ways Black people have been maligned and unacknowledged for their contributions in American history. He says that as he was writing and researching, he realized it wasn't only white people who needed to relearn that history – and he explains why it's important for Black readers, too.

Read Me a Poem - “The Watcher” by Rainer Maria Rilke

The Watcher

by Rainer Maria Rilke


I see the storms coming in the trees

that on swollen, balmy days

beat at my anxious window,

and hear the Distance saying things

that I can’t bear without a friend,

can’t love without a sister.


There goes the storm, a rearranger,

goes through forest and through time,

and everything is as though ageless:

the landscape, like a verse in a psalm book,

is truth and might and eternity.


How small it is, what we wrestle with,

what wrestles with us, how great;

if we could let ourselves be more like things,

be subdued by great storms—

we would become vast and nameless.


What we defeat is the Small,

and the victory itself makes us small.

The Eternal and Enormous

will not be bent by us.

This is the Angel that appeared

to the wrestlers of the Old Testament:

when its adversary’s sinews

strained like metal in the struggle,

it felt them under its fingers

like the strings of deep melodies.


Whoever was bested by this Angel—

who so often renounced struggle—

he goes righteous and upright

and great from that harsh hand,

which embraced him like a sculptor.

Victories do not entice him.

This is how he grows: deep defeat

by ever greater forces.

NPR's Book of the Day - Nathan Hill’s ‘Wellness’ examines marriage, parenthood and polyamory

Nathan Hill's novel Wellness starts with a blossoming romance between two artists in Chicago's underground scene. Twenty years later, they're married, raising a kid, and running into all sorts of conflict, within themselves and with one another. In today's episode, Hill speaks with Here & Now's Robin Young about how love and partnership changes over time, and how the start of the book – which he wrote two decades ago – felt much different when he reapproached it in his 40s.
