Yes, BP is ending its run.

Today:

I'm speaking with Katrina Browne, who made a ghastly discovery about her family: she’s the descendant of one of the largest slave-trading families in U.S. history... and they were Yankees.

Browne is the filmmaker behind “Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North,” which was shown at the New York Human Rights Watch Film Festival and by PBS this summer.

Also joining me, Harold Fields – He is active in restorative justice and racial reconciliation projects across the nation and is featured in the film.

Plus, Attacking Cancer – Dr. Arden Morris, an assistant professor of surgery at the University of Michigan Medical School, shares why more people of color are dying from cancer, even when they have the same access to treatment.

Last week, you heard:

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) on her new job as CBC Chair: Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) was formally named Chair-Elect of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) this month and joins me to talk about the organization’s leadership for the upcoming Congress.

And Princeton Prof. Melissa Harris Lacewell talks the latest on the president-elect and his transition team.
