The national mythos of a predominantly white working class leaves little room for black workers or any opportunity to glean lessons from their histories. Today we're talking about the origins of the Black working class with Dr. Blair Kelley, a historian and scholar of the African American experience, and author of, "Black Folk: The Roots of the Black Working Class."

The myth of the "Absent Black Father" permeates American culture and adversely affects the mental health of Black men and their families. The Black Fatherhood Podcast serves to break that myth. Hosted by Dr. Alvin Thomas, clinical psychologist and Dir. of the TRYLab at the Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison, the show offers engaging conversations with Black authors, artists, and academics on the issues (past and present) affecting Black fathers, and serves to celebrate and strengthen Black Fatherhood.
