Welcome back to Mikes on Mic.

Today we dive deep into discussions with distinguished historian Dr. James B. Brooks, as we explore the shifting tides of race relations in America over the past 50-70 years.

From uncovering subtle racism and discrimination in municipal spheres to unraveling the historical perspective of Confederate monuments, Dr. Brooks paints an insightful picture of how societal norms have evolved over time.

Join us as we also touch on the complexities of racial tensions, the impact of economic downturns, and the historical significance of the Great Migration.

Stay tuned as our hosts, Mike Hightower, Mike Tolbert, and Mike Miller, engage in a rich dialogue with our esteemed guest, offering profound reflections and perspectives that are bound to leave an indelible mark.
