How do we combat xenophobia, irrational fear and hate as our society continues to weave a more colorful and complicated American mosaic?

In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, and most recently the San Bernardino massacre and the incendiary campaign rhetoric of Donald Trump (and other GOP candidates) , immigrants and American minorities have been targeted, harassed and attacked at alarming rates.

Amy Beth welcomes racial justice advocate Deepa Iyer, author of We Too Sing America: South Asian, Arab, Muslim And Sikh Immigrants Shape Our Multicultural Future.  Reframing the discussion of race in America, Iyer raises questions about the state’s role in perpetuating racism and domestic terrorism.

And the usual hoopla: free flow Pop Culture convoInspiration to Action shout-outs, humor, music and more.
