In the latest episode of Staying On Code, I took a deep dive into the origins and implementation of affirmative action in America. The lens: When Affirmative Action was White by Ira Katznelson. This book offers a sobering examination of who wrote the policies, how they were written, and who benefitted from them. Hint: it wasn't Black people. My guest was Mr. Clif Thompson of the Underground Book Club.
