Abstract

This episode of "Like It Is" features Benjamin Hooks discussing the ongoing struggles and resilience of the Black community. He emphasizes that despite systemic racism and setbacks like Proposition 13, Black people have historically endured and persevered through faith, family, and determination. Hooks critiques false notions of reverse discrimination, advocates for economic self-sufficiency through Black-owned institutions, and stresses the importance of political activism and voter registration.
