masterclass is offering a course in black history for free during black history month. they have teachers like cornel west, angela davis, jelani cobb, john mcwhorter, and sherrilyn ifill among others. i’m halfway through the first section-- the past.

given the quality of the production, the power of the teachers, and the prices masterclass generally charges this is an opportunity not to be missed.

Holy moly–fantastic and free.
Thanks for the heads up.

Am a big fan of Drs. Davis and West. Have been reading Dr. Cobb’s work for years, even as I try to avoid most parts of The New York Times.

ETA: Wow! Listening now… and Nicole Hannah-Jones is part of this set of classes. Sssssssqueeeee!
