This Week on Basic Black: Politics, scandals, and legacies
May 17, 2013
In the headlines this week: a discussion of the Boston mayor's race and how communities of color are poised to make their coalitions heard. Also, this is not the first time the IRS has come under fire for targeting political activity; we'll take a look at the IRS, the NAACP and the black church. And in our online segment after the broadcast, a moment to reflect on what it might mean to be the progeny of an icon as we mark the death of Malcolm X's grandson, Malcolm Shabazz.
