We're all my children in the light, we're on in the synonym, but steady striving to do right.

My people are warriors, all we know is the fight for freedom.

Shake, see God and everything got right to you.

Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On One With Angela Rye.

Today, y'all are in for a treat.

I'm joined by Professor Arthur, my dad that I've adopted and mentor Dr. Michael Eric Dyson.

2020 was a year of racial reckoning.

During this podcast, we discuss this racial reckoning that has happened across the country,

while also talking about his new book, Long Time Coming, Reckoning with Race in America.

We talked through the pain we suffered this year and how we turn our pain into power.

It's one of my favorite conversations.

So I decided, I need to say that I would tell you all a few things that you may not know about my mentor, dad.

The first thing that you all might know from watching him on doing his commentary on air

is that this is the only person on the planet who you might have to at least pull

an online discourse to know the last sentence that he completed in conversation with you.

The other thing that I would say is in addition to dropping bars in a sermon,

he also does it in his books, in online commentary, in text messages, and everywhere else.

And I would argue, even though he's written about Jay-Z,

maybe able to get down with Jay-Z in a little freestyle battle.

I will come any on that.
