ITintheD Ep 152 – What Does Being Black in America Mean – Full Episode Jul 11, 2016

Show notes

After the events of last week, and rather rapidly, we were lucky enough to get Eric Thomas, Calvin Moore, Billy Strawter, and Khary Frazier in-studio to talk about not just the events of the past week, but also the touchy topic of what it's actually like to be black in America today, as well as an amazing amount of historical reference and discussion about how we got here as a society... It was, quite simply, an amazing afternoon. It was a long afternoon...we were in-studio for four and a half hours recording. We're finishing up the files and getting them ready for publication...look for those later this afternoon. So much great information, conversations, emotions...we couldn't be happier that this got pulled together, and we're looking forward to doing more of these sessions in the future. This is the full episode.

Well, we learned that Calvin from Seven Point Two Tours is a wealth of knowledge about the city of Detroit, and Nick from Vault of Midnight is committed to having a great experience for experienced comic enthusiasts and newbies alike.
