In this episode of "The Right Time," Bomani Jones engages in a deep conversation with Howard Bryant about his new book, "Kings and Pawns," which explores the intertwined lives of Jackie Robinson and Paul Robeson. The discussion highlights the historical significance of both figures, particularly focusing on Robinson's testimony against Robeson before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1949. Bryant emphasizes the erasure of Robeson's legacy and the complexities of Robinson's role in the civil rights movement, illustrating how both men navigated their identities and the expectations society placed on them. The conversation also touches on the broader themes of race, patriotism, and the sacrifices made by Black Americans in their pursuit of equality.
