What role will writers play as we head into a second Trump term?
Author, journalist and Howard University professor Ta-Nehisi Coates
has some thoughts. The man who has been called “one of the most
important writers on the subject of America today” came to the fore
during the Obama era as one of the preeminent writers on race,
among other things, for his 2014 essay “The Case for Reparations”
and his book Between the World and Me, an open letter to his son
about growing up as a Black man in America. Kara and Ta-Nehisi
discuss how the Democrats lost the “rainbow coalition” in the 2024
election, why America’s “special relationship” with Israel
compelled him to rally against Palestinian oppression in his latest
book The Message, and why he thinks journalists will need to
embrace a new and not-so-safe normal during Trump 2.0. Questions?
