Episode description as stored
Charlayne Hunter-Gault is a trailblazing journalist. The first Black reporter for The New Yorker 's "Talk of the Town" section, she's spent more than a half-century reporting on the lives of Black Americans. Her newest book, My People , is a collection of pieces written throughout her career that provide a nuanced look at Black communities across the U.S. In this episode, she speaks to NPR's Michel Martin about how our country's understanding of race has changed since she first began working as a journalist, but how some things – like the bans on books by certain authors – kind of stay the same.
