Where Past Meets Present: A Conversation with Nicholas Buccola

Nicholas Buccola’s background in American political thought led him to write his book, “The Fire Is upon Us: James Baldwin, William F. Buckley Jr., and the Debate over Race in America.” Nicholas connected with Chanda to talk about how James Baldwin and William Buckley’s infamous debate came to fruition, the fortress of white supremacy, and why we need to come to terms with our history in order to move forward with justice.
