Robinson Woodward-Burns | How African Americans Turned "The American Dream" Into a Reality For All Americans

-Re-release from February 2019-“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness….”These words reach ears with an aura of romanticism; they appeal to the highest aspirations within us all and they entice millions to come and maximize their abilities in this great nation. As Black History Month comes to an end, we welcome Howard University political science professor Robinson Woodward-Burns and we discuss the role African Americans had in turning those words from a theoretical promise into a tangible reality for all by becoming citizens of the United States.For more, follow Robinson on-Twitter: @rwbdcWebsite: woodwardburns.com
