"The question has always been, does America love Black people as much as it loves Black culture? Because everything that folks love about New Orleans, the jazz music, the food... the culture, came from Black people" -
WATCH: In post-World War II America, as urban planners looked for ways to expand cities in suburbs, many so-called urban renewal projects intentionally targeted neighborhoods of color. Decades later, there's an effort to right the wrongs of the past.
Trymaine Lee: Native people have experienced a unique kind of wounding...in that context, what is racial healing?
Chief Lora Ann Chaisson: To be able to acknowledge our contribution to our country. And also to understand all the damage that has been done to our tribal people.

There’s so many amazing #IntoAmerica episodes but this one is a gem and a timely gift. Fire up the holiday playlists 🎵. Oh, and for the Hanukkah folk, Sharon Jones has you covered with “8 Days”
Christmas, but make it black. Black Christmas music is a genre of its own. From originals like “All I Want for Christmas is You,” to our spin on the so-called classics, these songs have become a staple in Black households.
