Sinopse

ArchCity Defenders and Action St. Louis present the premiere collaborative podcast, "Under The Arch." Your hosts Blake Strode, Executive Director of ArchCity Defenders, and Kayla Reed, Director of Action St. Louis, explore the issues facing our community and the people working to transform them.Our next episode features a special conversation with author and professor Walter Johnson discussing his book "The Broken Heart of America: St. Louis and the Violent History of the United States," which was published in 2020. In this highly acclaimed book, Johnson challenges readers to think analytically about racial capitalism by joining the history of the US Empire to the history of anti-Black racism, suggesting that St. Louis's own anti-Black racial history is influenced by the extermination and removal of Native American populations.Join the conversation around this week's episode using #UnderTheArch and send us your feedback at underthearchpod@gmail.com.
