Black And White Authors Examine Issues Of Race In America

All American Boys” is a powerful new novel by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely. Reynolds is black and Kiely is white. Their book examines race and police violence, chapter by chapter, from the perspectives of a black teen and a white teen.

Here & Now's Meghna Chakrabarti spoke with the two authors on Radio Boston in December. Today, we revisit that conversation.
