We explore Lincoln's legacy with regard to race with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi. Dr. Kendi earned the 2016 National Book Award for his work Stamped from the Beginning: A Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America. We talk about Lincoln's role in the history of racist and anti-racist ideas, Dr. Kendi's book, and about race in America today. Please send us your feedback @railsplitter pod on Twitter or Instagram or by joining our Facebook group. Today's episode is just a small part of the vital ongoing natoinal conversation about race, but it is one we are proud to have been able to do.
