we take it to boston for my conversation with professor ibram x kendi. dr. kendi founded and directs the boston university center for antiracist research. that center, in partnership with the boston globe, recently launched the emancipator, a multimedia platform that aims to change the national conversation on race. so let's begin with progress. do you see progress in any of those big issues that are confronting us right now? dr. kendi: we have a governing majority of americans who recognize that structural racism is a thing. it exists. it's harming this nation, and that governing majority has the power, through rebuilding really our democracy, to hopefully eliminate racism once and for all. and in 2010, only about a third, for instance, or so of americans were recognizing racism, you know, as a serious problem. and it got as high as three fourths of americans during the summer of 2020. now, it's come down a little bit. but i take, you know, i see that as progress. soledad: you are well known for a book that you wrote called how to be an anti-racist. what's

this is from boston in 1770. this is my granny with the gun and i say this because my grandma had a gun and then this is the 1773 cover that really illustrates the ways that a particular brand of americanism is shaped as the patriot protecting home from the encouraging of the savages of various kinds. so parkinson's account of revolutionary print culture, especially colonial newspapers helps us visualize a kind of circular process in which an event or as importantly a specter of an event via the slavery conspiracy or the threat of british alliances with indigenous peoples or other convulsions would become a published account a shaped intentionally crafted published account and listening a sort of response both in print and in action, which would then lead to a new event. comic sort of self-fulfilling prophecy in a way this account of print is a revision and refinement of both benedict benedict. anderson's imagined community thesis which suggests that proliferation of french in the early 19th century in particular

of institutions in boston, and then right after this city director lists the banks of boston and how much they are worth it goes on right away to list the insurance companies of boston and the amount of capital these insurance companies have really struck me from the beginning, even when i didn't know what they were doing. if you look at the right you will see a list of premiums of insurance, insurance rates that were published in city newspapers and these are rates that they were charging to merchants, and now they are not subject to restrictions, and in theory, in political terms, the whole world lies open to them at least they can get to by hook or by crook, and what this list really is is an assessment of the safety of the american merchant ships in the world because one of the things that you learn swiftly when you start to research insurance in this period is that most ships don't sink. it's telling you something it's telling you something about your own government if you're an american citizen. some new about how safe is this country [inaudible] which athlete in the world. so

in 1775, in boston. there was approximately 11,000 british soldiers occupying the cities during the revolutionary war. now, george washington's rag tag army of continentals, surrounded them, but they were outgunned. they carried personal muskets. they didn't have any cannons or any ammunition and general washington knew as soon as the warmer weather would come they'd be in trouble. now, the british, they were going to break out of boston when it broke up, storm his position and that they would end the revolutionary war. but then a 25-year-old book seller named henry knox came to general washington with a proposal. knox had never been in combat, but he had plenty of common sense. he was self-educated in military matters. he sold books for a living, but he read them, too. now, knox volunteered to lead a group of kids to retrieve cannons captured at a fort. they disassembled 59 different pieces of weapons, they loaded them onto boats and shipped them 30 miles across lake george. in fact, the lake froze soli

to his friend in boston. and you have no way of knowing that's him writing to another patriot leader. we begin to see the ark it canture of these things and how they then get put in. so there's a management to this whole thing. that there are no reporters or journalists in the 18th century. the only way in which they appear in the newspaper is if someone gives their correspondence to the printer orb printed that come across the ocean or they are taken from someone else's newspaper exchange. so these things are -- there's a directness to this. it's not accidental and it's not. so i think that's an important part. did i get to every point of that? or is there more to the question that i missed? >> i suspect you could probably go on for two hours, but i think that hits some of the highlights. so let me kboin two other questions. the first just came in from martha who asks, wrote in the 1960s what do you think if you're still here? he would think of the direction that you have taken and then joshua kaufman a bit

we drove in from belgrade, and the obvious place stopping place was our job, boston in elijah, ah, ah, the 1st major battle of the war took place on the 22nd of april 1992 in and around the hotel, boston. between the bosnian serbs and yugoslav, army on one side and the emerging bosnian muslim on groups on the other. it lasted for 10 days. one camera man was wounded. another tv, cruise rooms were hit by snipers and shelley martin belen, his crew were trapped inside the hotel with other journalists, his guests and staff. these red pitches shot by the bbc's, eric pal, show bell and the crew doing a live link with london. with may have going on around here. so we were on the balcony of the hotel boston, and while we were there, a huge battle erupted all around us as they have done in the past, excuse me. but it is, it is difficult to see that working at the moment because it is not as you hear around me, the real whole to see, you know, sometimes things happen and i felt the air above my head. something was happening to it. a bullish a whistle by and, and sucked. they are out of it and it

this is kind of how boston harbor looked at the time. boston market praise may have met many impressive black bostonians including a young girl named phyllis who had been sold at the age of eight to john wheatley about a year before braces arrival. we wheatley was a prominent merchant and taylor whose clientele included the wealthiest man in boston, john hancock who is also a slaveholder phillis. wheatley likely likely helped. so hancock's posh clothes so this is a portrait of him. this is his wife and this is a portrait we have of phyllis wheatley who as you know becomes one of the mothers of african-american literature. in jeffrey bolsters brilliant work on titled blackjacks african-american -- in the age of sail. he has a portrait of how some black soldier about black sailors looked brace refers twice to his the close. he was given and he probably his clothes probably looked more like this. he says captain mills clothed him in a sailor's jacket and killed and a new white shirt. he had no shoes. although breastly wanted to remain in bo

i stand with my fellow gentleman from boston. we are definitely in a better place under the leadership of joe biden. however, he's done everything he can. the u.n., nato, my fear is this will go on so long that country will continue to be decimated. the leadership will be wiped out. we will be forced to pick up the pieces. while we do have some leadership still in place in the country, there needs to be a plan to deal with vladimir putin right now. ultimately at the end of the day, it's going to be boots on the ground. eventually, he will just surrender. he will go the way of history. the world will be a better place. host: that will be the last word on our open phone segment for now. coming up, we have our work lead spotlight on podcast. that features world affairs podcast, which looks at local issues. that is coming up after the break with

and here in the greater boston area. we see a similar pattern where many of the anthropological artifacts that were donated to the antiquarian society the athenaeum or the mhs or now at the peabody museum at harvard. so although these collections are now separate they were once housed together and i really want to emphasize how important it is for us to recognize that early history. we can better see the kinds of concerns and anxieties that were hugely influential in shaping the trajectory of museums through the present day. we can imagine and put in conversation the different points of view among founders and visitors and we can so recognize the shared history of collections that were dedicated to science and history and art even if today they're at separate institutions. this can allow us to imagine different ways of interpreting these objects and and understanding how they were valued and used who collected them and how they ended up at different institutions. it also can allow us to acknowledge the forms of loss and

today's action comes as northeastern university in boston is expected to acquire mills college in june. after years of financial troubles and also declining enrollment at the college faculty at mills say that they are worried that they won't have a contract when the merger happens, and that they could potentially lose their jobs. northeastern thing seems like a done deal, but we don't know, but also a lot of us are just worried about whether we'll even have jobs until july, when northeastern is supposed to take over. the college keeps promising us that we're going to stay employed. but. they've so far not offered us any improvement on severance, which to me is the main way they can say that they're going to keep us all on. in a statement today, mills said that it is committed to the collective bargaining process and to continue good
