Join a most dynamic pairing -- Ibram X. Kendi and Jemele Hill - for a conversation about racism in sports, Hill's memoir Uphill, and more. Hill's rise from newspaper reporter to Emmy Award-winning sports journalist is not to be underestimated, nor is her willingness to speak her mind no matter the consequences. When she called President Trump a "white supremacist," the White House wanted her fired from her position as co-anchor for ESPN's revered SportsCenter and she was deluged with death threats. But Hill has overcome far greater challenges, including the generational trauma movingly depicted in her inspiring memoir, Uphill. Dr. Ibram X. Kendi is the author of many highly acclaimed books including Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, How to Be an Antiracist, and Antiracist Baby.
