A Memoir of Kidnapping from Poet Shane McCrae

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jul 28, 2023

When poet and author Shane McCrae was young, his white grandparents kidnapped him from his Black father and raised him themselves as a white boy, denying his biracial identity. Only years later did McCrae realize something was wrong, and he sought to find the truth. McCrae joins us to discuss his new memoir, Pulling the Chariot of the Sun.

This segment is hosted by Brigid Bergin.
