Farai Chideya has been following the intersections of race and gender, pop culture and politics for years. During the 2010 campaign, she hosted a series of election specials for public radio in association with her blog, “pop and politics” – where she traveled the country, talking to voters about their lives and what drives their votes. She joined us to talk about African American women in politics.

On Wednesday at 3pm, she’ll be speaking at Eastern Connecticut State University in Willimantic.
