This week, Jabari talks with David Dennis, Jr. a senior writer at The Undefeated and an American Mosaic Journalism Prize recipient. A journalist, cultural critic, and scholar, David has served as Visiting Professor of Journalism at Morehouse College, has written pieces for The Atlantic, Playboy Washington Post, and is a regular personality on ESPN’s sports debate show “Around the Horn.” His recently released book, The Movement Made Us, explores the life of a prominent civil rights leader—his father. Not so much a memoir but a sharing of stories between father and son, Something to Say details his father's journey leading civil rights efforts in Mississippi for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). Jabari and David discuss the Brian Flores class action suit with the NFL, their shared roots in the Blog era of Hip-Hop, and David’s longtime friendship with Steph Curry.
Uncommon Naledge is hosted by Dr. Jabari Evans and edited and produced by Connor Bird.
