... ... From KQED Public Radio in San Francisco, I'm Mina Kim. Coming up on forum, sociologist, preacher, and cultural critic Michael Eric Dyson joins us. His new book is Long Time Coming, Reckoning with Race in America.

And through letters written to black victims of police killings, including Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Eric Garner,

Dyson traces the genealogy of anti-blackness from slavery to the events of 2020.

We'll talk with Dyson about why he remains hopeful

in the fight for racial and social justice.

Join us. This is Forum. I'm Mina Kim.

In his new book, Long Time Coming, scholar and preacher Michael Eric Dyson writes letters to victims of racism and police violence,

Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Elijah McLean, and he grapples

with America's attempts to reckon with race. Dyson is Distinguished University Professor of African

American and Diaspora Studies at Vanderbilt, and author of many books, including Tears We Cannot Stop,

A Sermon to White America and Jay-Z Made in America.

Thanks so much for joining us on forum, Michael Eric Dyson.
