Tim Wise at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, 9/24/15
My speech at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, September 24, 2015. Discussing racism in the nation and Baltimore area specifically.

Nativist Americans: Immigration, Historical Memory and the Dishonesty of Modern Racism
Although I am hardly known for waxing nostalgic over the American past or its white people in particular, there is one thing that can be said for such folks in the old days.
