The invisibility of black women

Over the summer we asked the audience for books that challenged their perspectives--and they delivered. Book recommendations poured in, and one that stood out was Mychal Denzel Smith's, "Invisible Man Got the Whole World Watching."

The book is framed as "A young black man's education," but in a previous interview Denzel Smith had some interesting things to say on the invisibility of black women. He joined the show again along with president and founder of the Women's Institute for Science, Equity and Race Rhonda Vonshay Sharpe to talk about the challenges facing black women in America.
