Between Two Americas with Jonathan Capehart
from Aspen Ideas to Go Hosted by The Aspen Institute
Growing up in New Jersey without any connections to media, it wasn’t obvious that Jonathan Capehart would become the successful journalist and commentator he is today. But the MS NOW co-host was focused and driven, and kept asking questions until he landed where he wanted to be. He tells the 2025 Aspen Ideas Festival audience how he got from one world to another, and how as a Black gay man he’s often felt between spaces. His memoir, “Yet Here I Am: Lessons from A Black Man’s Search for Home” came out just before the festival. Preet Bharara, NYU law scholar and attorney at Wilmer Hale, interviews Capehart.
