PODCAST: 2018 Interview With Dr. Daina Ramey Berry, author of THE PRICE FOR THEIR POUND OF FLESH:
THE PRICE FOR THEIR POUND OF FLESH: The Value of the Enslaved from Womb to Grave, in the Building of a Nation is a groundbreaking look at how slaves were valued, and more importantly, how they valued themselves through every phase of life, from birth to death and beyond, in early
America. Dr. Berry is a Professor of History and African and African American Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. I interviewed her live in the studio for the second time in August 2018, over one year after my original interview with her. We discussed the need for a more comprehensive teaching of slavery in the schools, Kanye West’s unfortunate statement that slavery was a choice, and the opening of the lynching museum in Alabama.
