Duke Professor of Public Policy, Economics, & African American Studies William Darity Jr. is probably the most cited scholar on the issue of the racial wealth gap and reparations. So what does he make of Kamala's agenda for Black America and the state of reparations discourse, post-2020? With more and more Arab and Muslim voters threatening to withhold their votes over the siege in Gaza, why has there never been an "abandon Dems" movement over the party's broken promises to Black Americans? What types of policies would actually close the racial wealth gap, and why isn't the wealth tax discussed more frequently in these terms?

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Is Harris Stalling Out?

The political world was strangely rocked by a New York Times/Siena poll showing Trump with a one-point national lead, 48-47—leading Democrats and the media to worry openly that her momentum is gone. We explain why that might be the case, with a stop in Pittsburgh at the most politically divisive spice store in America as the dubious location for Harris making a plea to end our polarization. Give a listen.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Silbo Gomero

Located on the island of La Gomera in the Spanish Canary Islands is one of the most unusual languages on Earth.

For centuries, the people on this island have been able to communicate over vast distances not by shouting, using smoke signals, or drums, but rather by whistling.

This system allowed them to communicate just as easily as if they were talking, and it is still being used today.

Learn more about Silbo Gomero, the whistling language of the Canary Islands, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘A Pair of Wings’ draws inspiration from Bessie Coleman, the first Black woman to fly

Carole Hopson wanted to be a pilot since childhood, but it wasn't until her mid-30s that she learned about Bessie Coleman, the first Black woman to earn her pilot's license in 1921. Coleman's story not only encouraged Hopson to pursue her own career as a commercial pilot, but it also inspired A Pair of Wings, Hopson's first novel. In today's episode, Hopson speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about Coleman's groundbreaking path and about Hopson's own experience as one of few women of color working as a pilot for a major airline.
