Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Eugene Robinson, now chief political analyst at NBC News, joins renowned Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr. to discuss Freedom Lost, Freedom Won — a deeply personal memoir that traces our nation's tortured racial history through Robinson's own family story, from his great-grandfather's freedom from slavery to his own life today.
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor at Harvard University and an Emmy, Du Pont, and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker, literary scholar, and author. He is the creator and host of the beloved genealogy series Finding Your Roots, now in its eleventh season.
