On the August 8th edition of Your Call, Mychal Denzel Smith joins us to discuss his new book Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching: A Young Black Man’s Education.
Smith writes about challenging state violence, misogyny, homophobia, and expectations to be “twice as good.” His father’s proudest memory was voting for President Obama. At the same time, many young black men don’t make it to age 25. He asks: “How do you learn to be a black man?” It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
