Black History Month Week: Baldwin v Buckley (1965) w/ Nick Buccola
This week, we’re doing a number of episodes around the history of… Black History Month.
In 1965, two of America’s leading intellectuals debated the question of race — first in front of a packed university audience, and then on national television.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined by Nick Buccola of Linfield University to talk about James Baldwin and William F. Buckley and their riveting debates over civil rights, race, and the American dream.
Nick Buccola is the author of “The Fire Is Upon Us,” a chronicle of the debates.
