About this episode
The civil rights movement aimed for a society where race mattered less — not more — and where shared citizenship could outweigh skin color. Today's racial justice movement often pursues a very different goal: a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural society shaped around group identity. In this episode, I compare these two visions of equality, question whether either is fully achievable, and argue that even an imperfect post-racial ideal may offer more unity than a society built around permanent difference.
