Featuring: Jelani Cobb, staff writer at The New Yorker; Jessie Daniels, author of Cyber Racism and professor at Hunter College and The Graduate Center in sociology, critical social psychology, and Africana studies; Mary Hooks, co-director of Southerners on New Ground (SONG), a home for LGBTQ liberation across all lines of race, class, abilities, age, culture, gender, and sexuality in the South; and Bitta Mostofi, commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, New York City.
