How should U.S history be told, and who gets to tell it? Debate
over these questions has raged for years – but nowhere is it more
pronounced right now than in Florida. This week, Brittany Luse
chats with NPR's Giulia Heyward to get the download on Florida Gov.
Ron DeSantis' recent efforts to ban AP African American studies in
his state. Then, Brittany sits down with Dorothy Roberts, a legal
scholar and sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, and
Leslie Alexander, a historian at Rutgers University. In line with
their work on The 1619 Project – now a Hulu documentary series
–they make the case that slavery led to some of our biggest
political fissures today, and discuss why it's important for all
Americans to understand those connections.
