"Black Americans Are Not Surprised": Christina Greer on Trump's Attacks on Students, DEI & History



"There has been a systemic erasure of Black history." Professor Christina Greer discusses the Trump administration's crackdown on free speech and efforts to whitewash American history. The erasure of the history of racism and resistance is not only intellectually dishonest, says Greer, but will also cause the U.S. economic and social harm. "We can't move forward as a nation collectively … if we don't understand our collective past," she says.
