Thank you so much for making this video available. I hope that many members of the BC community make time to watch it.Ta-Nehisi Coates is one of the most powerful and inspiring writers about the way the world works. In this interview, his throw-away line “the beautiful thing about the truth is that it’s easy” is one of many profound moments. The Makdisi brothers who are interviewing Coates are also well worth listening to.
