The Invention of Race

Compiled by Award-winning producer John Biewen from the "Seeing White" series. The Invention of Race traces the development of racial and racist ideas from the ancient world - when there was no notion of race - up to the founding of the United States as, fundamentally, a nation of and for white people.

The Invention of Race is adapted from several episodes of the more in-depth 14-part series "Seeing White" on the Scene on Radio podcast.

Airs Saturday, June 27 at 2pm on WNYC 93.9 FM and AM 820

Additionally, the New York Public Radio Archives is sharing some of the department's leading preservation work, series and sonic artifacts concerning African-American history. You can explore it here.
