The Vanishing Black Family w/ Delano Squires Part 2

Part 2 In this episode, Justin and Chris sit down with Delano Squires to discuss his new book, The Vanishing Black Family: How Welfare and Feminism Made Marriage Optional and Children Vulnerable. Delano challenges racial justice advocates to wrestle with a difficult but important question: How can we address disparities in income, education, and incarceration without confronting the decline of marriage and two-parent households? Together, they explore the state of the Black family, the cultural and policy shifts that have shaped marriage and family life, and why strengthening families must be part of any serious conversation about justice, opportunity, and the well-being of children.
