Hugh Hefner’s progressive legacy hinges on sexual liberation and anti-racism. As radical feminists confront Hefner on TV and Black people start appearing in Playboy, Hefner’s justice-minded image invites scrutiny. How much of it is just for show—and profit? With Jeannie Bell, one of the first Black women to appear in the magazine; Walter Lowe, Playboy’s first Black editor; and Diane Crothers of the New York Radical Feminist Group. Power is a Somethin’ Else production with Sony Music Entertainment.  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts  Learn more about your ad choices.
