- Program Description
Host Darren Duarte speaks with Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter/essayist/social historian Roger Wilkins in this new edition of Basic Black. Wilkins (nephew of the late civil rights leader Roy Wilkins), formerly of the Washington Post and New York Times, now on the faculty of George Mason University, has a rich history as an articulate participant in the struggle for equal rights. In his latest book, Jefferson’s Pillow: The Founding Fathers and the Dilemma of Black Patriotism, Wilkins uses his characteristic subtlety and his informed perspective as a seasoned socio-political observer to demythologize four founders of the Commonwealth of Virginia—George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and George Mason.
