Ibram X. Kendi, director of The Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University, columnist at The Atlantic and the author of Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America (Nation Books, 2016), talks about his essay in the Atlantic's special issue dedicated to the question "Is Democracy Dying?" where he writes that our government "cannot endure, permanently half racist and half antiracist...Only a renewed commitment to antiracist policies can save the endangered American project.”
