Smiley, You're On the Radio
Tavis Smiley joins Brian Lehrer to discuss his new book, Keeping The Faith, his collection of remembrances of, and tribute to, Black America. Smiley, the host of NPR's The Tavis Smiley Show, has compiled essays from African-American luminaries, including Booker T. Washington and Dr. Cornel West, about the mother’s milk of family, heritage, faith and hope. He hopes the solace found in the book’s writings will help others as it once helped him.
