This week, leading up to our annual live show at the Atlanta History Center, Closer Look’s programming will be in honor of Juneteenth. 

 

On Monday, show host Rose Scott talks with Dr. Karcheik Sims-Alvarado chairs the Fulton County Reparations Task Force. The Morehouse professor, who has studied the history and culture of African Americans for nearly 20 years, discusses the framework of reparations and the work of the county’s reparations task force. 

 

Scott then talks with Morehouse history professor Dr. Frederick C. Knight. Professor Knight discusses his new book, "Black Elders: The Meaning of Age in American Slavery and Freedom.” The book explores the experiences and relationships of African American elders during slavery through Reconstruction.
