In this fascinating discussion with CUSWF.org Executive Director Leslie Wolf-Creutzfeldt, Professor Kennedy talks about his collection of provocative essays exploring the key social justice issues of our time.

The New York Times calls Kennedy "among the most incisive American commentators on race."
