This week, Deborah Jones and Thandisizwe Chimurenga joins us to discuss the book, "What We Stood For: The Story of a Revolutionary Black Woman", and we talk to Cheri Honkala and Shamako Noble about their work with the Poor Peoples Economic Human Rights Campaign and the actions planned for the upcoming Democratic and Republican national conventions this summer. But first, Steven Salaita joins in conversation about his book, "An Honest Living: A Memoir of Peculiar Itineraries", which details his life after being terminated from a tenured university position in 2014 when he spoke up for the rights of the people of Palestine.
