Despite the gains of legal desegregation, this episode of Making Black America reveals how Black political and cultural movements – from Black Power to Black Twitter – provide a safe space to debate, organize and celebrate.

Hosted by Gloria Neal, our panel – including community leaders Jeannette Patterson, Norman Harris, and Daphne Rice-Allen – will break down the topic of Black celebrations and joy.
