keisha blain and dr. ibram xkendi, founder of anti-racism research at boston university.i'll start with you, why 90 writers to write about 400 years of american history, black history? >> first, thanks for having us. we wanted to bring together a community of writers to essentially tell a community history of black america. and the idea was to ask 80 specific writers to grapple with five years of history and then ten poets to reflect on essentially a 40-year period. so as readers encounter the text, they'll find a series of essays. at the end of each section they'll find a poem that grapples with the core theme of that section. again, the idea for us was to really encapsulate that vision of community in telling the history. so, we thought the best way to do it was to reach out to a total of 90 brilliant black writers. >> dr. kendi, i haven't read the entire book, it is long, but what's wonderful about those five years you're talking about, dr. blain, is that these are chapters that don't go on and on. they're about five to six pages. but five to six really powerful pages
