As always, Wood closes with the nature of effective resistance and the tools that can help to achieve success.

In The Genetic Lottery, Harden introduces listeners to the latest genetic science, dismantling dangerous ideas about racial superiority and challenging us to grapple with what equality really means in a world where people are born different.

When the guns fell silent in 1865, the South entered a different kind of war — the hard peace.

In these pages, you’ll confront questions history books rarely ask: How did ordinary people survive violence, instability, and political conflict when every familiar structure had collapsed? How did freed people, women, veterans, and small entrepreneurs build new institutions with almost no resources? ...

Why is it that so many efforts by liberals to lift the Black underclass not only fail, but often harm the intended beneficiaries? In Please Stop Helping Us, Jason L. Riley examines how well-intentioned welfare programs are in fact holding Black Americans back.

Affirmative action in higher education is intended to address past discrimination, but the result is fewer Black college graduates than would otherwise exist.
