About this listen
Among the many hats he wears, he is an engineer, a business owner, a political activist, a blogger, a software developer, a web designer, a multimedia creator, and a media host. Do you think it is the figment of his imagination that the events he speaks about could have derailed him?
His parents, village, and Panama Canal Zone events prepared him. Above and beyond his tribulations, this Afro-Latino Caribbean man did not allow racism to stop his smile, resolve, or journey forward. Walk with him through his eyes.
It will change your perspective on what you thought you knew about race and prejudice.

Story
Award-winning journalist Natasha S. Alford grew up between two worlds as the daughter of an African American father and Puerto Rican mother. In American Negra, a narrative that is part memoir, part cultural analysis, Alford reflects on growing up in a working-class family from the city of Syracuse, NY. In smart, vivid prose, Alford illustrates the complexity of being multiethnic in Upstate New York and society’s flawed teachings about matters of identity.

Who was James Baldwin? How did he become the master of multiple literary genres and a champion for some of the era’s most notable political and social causes? And how is his influence still being felt today?

Story
Cuba has fought three wars for independence, and still she is not free. Her people have been rounded up in reconcentration camps, where there is always too little food and too much illness. Rosa knows how to heal sickness with medicines made from wild plants. But with a price on her head for helping the rebels, Rosa dares not go out in the open. Instead, she turns hidden caves into hospitals for those who know how to find her.
