African Americans, particularly of older generations, never thought they would live to see the day the US elected a black president. But what does Obama\u2019s election mean about race-relations in the US? We spend the rest of the hour hearing from anti racist writer, activist, and educator, Tim Wise author of several books including White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son, and Speaking Treason Fluently: Anti-racist Reflections From an Angry White Male. His forthcoming book is called Between Barack and a Hard Place: Racism and White Denial in the Age of Obama. Actor and activist Danny Glover has said that Wise\u2019 book \u201cprovides an insightful and much needed lens through which we can begin to navigate this current stage in our ongoing quest for a more inclusive definition of who we are as a nation.\u201d Tim Wise recently addressed an audience at All Saints Church in Pasadena, California.
