In 'Who We Are,' Jeffery Robinson exposes the history of anti-Black racism and white supremacy in the US

On this edition of Your Call, we speak with former ACLU deputy legal director Jeffery Robinson, the subject of the new documentary, 'Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America.'

The film weaves together Robinson’s groundbreaking talk on the history of anti-Black racism and white supremacy in the United States with archival footage, powerful interviews, and Robinson's personal story. The Who We Are Project says reckoning with our true history is the only way to move forward on a path toward racial equity and justice.
