Our conversations engage with a wide range of activists and scholars - senior figures in the field, late doctoral students, and everyone in between, culture workers, and political organizers - in order to explore the cultural and political meaning of Black Studies as an area of inquiry and its critical methods.Today's conversation is with Lee Hawkins, a journalist with The Wall Street Journal and author of the 2025 book I Am Nobody's Slave: How Uncovering My Family's History Set Me Free. In this conversation, we discuss the meaning of personal histories, journalistic work, and the persistence of trauma across time and generation.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/GK0JkHDgcwnQZigXg76yVAfnXOjR7L0IJw8OjXOWQ4o/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wYTll/NTVmNTRkMWJiMDIx/NWY5Mjg5ZWEwMzhl/Yjg5My5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
