Behind the Activist

Self-Evident is inspired by American Portrait’s central question: “What does it really mean to be an American today?” As the US grapples with COVID-19, widespread social unrest following the killing of George Floyd and a polarizing election, the series explores American challenges and triumphs as we persevere in an especially tough year.

Behind the Activist

Season 1 Episode 2 | 11m 20s | CC

Ijeoma Oluo (Author, Educator), Rachel Cargle (Author, Educator, Loveland Foundation), & Elijah Lee (a 12-year-old minister) give us a look at what the life of an anti-racist activist is really like. With unprecedented Black Lives Matter protests happening across the country, America seems poised to perhaps have a reckoning with its history of racial injustice.
