Henry Louis Gates Jr. & Donald Yacovone discuss "Teaching White Supremacy"

-- Donald Yacovone discusses his new book, "Teaching White Supremacy", with Henry Louis Gates Jr. which examines white supremacy’s deep-seated roots in our nation’s education system --
In "Teaching White Supremacy", Donald Yacovone shows us the clear evidence of white supremacy’s deep-seated roots in our nation’s education system using an in-depth examination of a wide assortment of texts, from primary readers to college textbooks and other higher-ed course materials. Sifting through a wealth of materials, from the colonial era to today, Yacovone reveals the systematic ways in which white supremacist ideology has infiltrated American culture and how it has been at the heart of our collective national identity. He argues that it is the North that bears the greater responsibility for creating the dominant strain of race theory, inculcated throughout the culture and in school textbooks, that restricted and repressed African Americans and other minorities. He will be joined by Harvard professor, historian, and film maker Henry Louis Gates Jr. for a probing look at this work and a discussion of how we can use this history to improve our futures.
